How many people would you give up your net worth for?

[Jim14Qc]

20+, but that's only because I'm 18 and my only net worth is in my poker accoutns and ~5k in savings.

[SackUp]

20+ easy.

I think I'd actively have to hate someone not to do this.

Same here. I'll do this for everyone I like or love and probably every person those people like or love as well.

The question becomes a lot more difficult if you not only lose everything you have, but go in to deep debt as well.

My net worth isn't much though, like $8k.

I think you mean "villain". Anti-hero doesn't really work in this scenario.

[/ QUOTE ] Right. Anti-hero has positive connotations in Norwegian too, so I should have sensed it. Villain it is.

A quick count put me at 6-10. It's certainly not lower than 8,

This made me laugh a lot.

[/ QUOTE ] huh? You realize I'm refering to 6-10 as one of the options in the poll? Just because it looks funny out of context? I guess you are easilly amused [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

[stinkypete]

the median net worth around here is probably pretty damn close to zero, so the question sucks.

[daryn]

right, the question should be, let's say your net worth is $100k.. would you do it, and for how many people?

[mak15]

i have some money and i'd give it up for just about anyone i know and think is a decent person. i may even do it for relative or even complete strangers, i dunno.

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.

One person, wife. Of course I'd expect her to disperse it amongst kids, if any.

[NicksDad1970]

I would be doing a disservice to someone by giving them my net worth.

People I'd take a bullet for? Prob 50
