Default Re: An offer you can\'t refuse?

I thought about that, but for many people, esp college students or recent grads, their total net worth is 0 or negative so that wouldn't really work out. I think it's still better phrased this way.

Actually you can think of it in your way as well. If you are worth $100,000, and are given $100,000 to risk for $200,000, you'd be risking 50% of your wealth. If you are given $1 mil for $2 mil, you'd be risk 9% of your wealth, etc etc etc
