Yeah, I'd bet there is a dollar amount that would get him to quit.

"-his current net worth"

I.e. if he completely busted out, LOL!

Out perspectives change based on where we stand.

He is saying a just 500k to 1M just for quitting. With #2 he is saying that for a job that payed 100k a year that he enjoyed he would quit.

My point is that the latter value (in dollars) is significantly greater than the first.

2 mil. Unless you define 'gambling' as investing of any sort, including the stock market, businesses etc, then obviously the amount would be much higher since I couldn't put that 2mil to use.
