But net worth has everything to do with risk. A person worth $1 million putting up all $1 million is risking everything he has. A person worth $1 billion probably won't even notice if he loses $1 million. There's almost no risk to him if he loses that money.
- pyre 10y agoIt's a question of scope though. The parent to your post is trying to scope the risk to "the risk of losing $1 million", not "the risk of financial hardship." If you can both get on the same page with respect to this, then you won't be talking past each other.
- madgar 10y agoThe person you're replying to understands this. They demonstrated that they took the effort to understand the person they're replying to by including the smaller scope in their comments. GGP is either incapable of comprehending the broader scope for whatever reason, or is deliberately limiting the scope to "win."
