Re: How many people would you give up your net worth for?
Looking at this from a different angle...I live in a place where being kidnapped is far from likely, but more probable than almost anywhere else in the world. So I have given it some thought. Lets say I was kidnapped and the ransom was $1,000,000 or I would be killed. I don't have any rich relatives who would pony up. To raise a million would mean leaving a lot of people very close to me in awful financial situations.
I honestly don't think I could live with myself knowing family members and friends would struggle financially for years. Sure my mind would likely change if I was in the actual situation, but I think I would prefer death.
I guess my situation is unique though in that I choose to live where I do. No one else other than myself should have to bear responsibilty for risk I willingly assume.
