Growing up they were poor, but their family got 500 dollars a month, which is more than most families on this planet earn a year. People are so ignorant, it hurts.

> 500 dollars a month, which is more than most families on this planet earn a year. People are so ignorant, it hurts.

Wildly inaccurate statistic.

Bottom 10% live on less than $800 per year. [1]

Bottom 30% around $2000 - $3000 per year. [2]

Global median income is about $3000 per person per year. [2]

So that means a family with two median earners makes 500 dollars a month?

I don't get it, you seem to be confirming the claim.

Y̶o̶u̶ They wrote: "500 dollars a month, which is more than most families on this planet earn a year."

Than translates to "most families on this planet make less than $500 per year"

Oh, the year/month mixup, fair enough. (Wasn't me, BTW.)
