Don't dislike Visualcapitalist. They just copy and paste figures from other sources. The numbers given in the map have been taken from here.

I think it's worthy of dislike. Essentially, their reach surpasses their accuracy. Although, the charts are usually directionally correct, so maybe it's not such a net negative shrug

I am just very particular about data accuracy and interpretation. You could say it's a pet peeve of mine.

No, I also don't like it. Looked at it after a long time today and found it.

I also found something else from them which is same but contradicts to this.

I remember someone posting this one a while ago. At least this one says "to live comfortably". The reader knows there's a subjective standard at play.

I actually think these numbers are pretty reasonable, if comfortable means you can generally do whatever you want without worrying about money.

Yes, I also remember. I didn't find it on SN but found something else.
