> "This is like someone who makes a salary of $60,000 having suffering loss of $6,000 to $12,000." This line had the opposite of the intended effect, for me. Someone with $60k salary, a $12k loss could take years to recover from if they have expenses like college debt, rent/mortgage, and kids. I dunno, some might say that's poor financial planning, but it's reality for a lot of people. And de-referencing the analogy: most US cities are not exactly financially rock solid either.
