my wife is active on a board called UB. there was a discussion today: guy works in finance, looses job, goes $200K in debt. a very good friend who he has known all his life has net worth of $100 mil. the wife thinks the first guy should ask the friend for help. question is, if you had $100 mil net worth, would you give a friend $200K to get him out of the whole. side issues, maybe this guy fucked up to get where he is. declaring personal bankrupcy means he can't work in his field again.
my wife asked me, and my first thought was "yes, no issue". if somebody asked me for 25% of my net worth now, in those circomstances, I 'd give it. but I am not a high net worth individual. people don't really ask me for money, and I don't have to worry about protecting a fortune for my kids.
what do you think?
