The infographic below has some interesting facts to me, including:

• Maryland has the 5th highest average-income in America
• The top 5 states with the highest average income are all in the northeast. It’s no wonder that evangelism (telling people about Jesus) is seemingly more difficult in the northeast. Jesus said something about wealth and focus on material things making it hard to follow him.
• The top 1% of people in terms of wealth own 40% of all stocks.
• People who aren’t rich have more debt. The key thing though, is not to think they have debt because they aren’t rich. No, they aren’t rich because they have debt. In other words, if we could live at whatever level would allow us to be debt free now, we would be rich later….and we could use that money to plant new churches
