Transcript

English transcript derived from validated English subtitles (WebVTT · SRT). Timestamps link to the original video.

00:00 American wealth is 520,000 euros per adult, while for us it’s 150,000 euros. In Sweden, that wealth is 300,000 euros per adult and in Switzerland it’s over 650,000 euros per adult. So for example, my self-sufficiency challenge’s Esa Juntunen, since he’s near that level, he hasn’t yet reached even the average wealth of the Swiss. We are really, compared to those Americans and of course the Swiss, dirt poor!
