With 9000 euros per month, you are one of the richest 1% of the population

This morning I came across this text :
If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your body, a roof over your head, and a bed to sleep, you’re richer than 75% of the entire world.
If you have money in your wallet, and can go everywhere you are among 18% of worlds most wealthy people.
If you are alive today and healthy, you are more blessed than the millions of people who will not survive this week and die.
If you can actually read and understand this message, you are more fortunate than the 3 billion people in the world, who are blind, deaf or illiterate.
Life is not about complaining. Life is about thousands of other reasons to be grateful and happy.
That got me thinking and I wondered what the figures were in France? According to the Inequality Observatory, which sets the wealth threshold at twice the median income, "one becomes rich from 3,075 euros for a single person, 5,963 euros for a couple and 7,852 euros for a family with two children" according to the latest published figures.
Did you know that a person is among the 1% of the population with the highest income if his/her annual income per consumption unit is higher than 108,670 euros, i.e. a monthly income before tax and social benefits of 9,060 euros for a single person and 19,020 euros for a couple with two children under the age of fourteen (source).
That puts into perspective...

You could say she's milking the opportunity. On Monday, American swimming gold medalist Katie Ledecky shared a video showing her swim the length of a pool with a full glass of chocolate milk on her head, never spilling a drop.
It's not just a random weird thing Ledecky decided to do -- the swim was part of the TikTok Got Milk? challenge, a promotional campaign from the Milk Processor Education Program, a dairy industry-funded group.
The group is reviving the popular Got Milk? ad slogan that began in 1994, and encouraging people to share oddball milk videos. So yes, it's an ad, but it's still amazing to watch Ledecky's perfect balance as the glass of milk on her head shivers and shakes, but somehow never spills a drop.

The super league differs from the WTS (World Triathlon Series) circuit by the diversity of its formats.
Indeed, the WTS is held either in Olympic or Sprint format, whereas the super league has invented several innovative formats that are very demanding but also very spectacular.

Freeletics is a great app for doing sports, without equipment while staying at home. Basically, no excuses! It's the program I used to rebuild the muscle I lost in New Zealand.
