What are you worth?

Financially speaking I mean.

We often have surveys of religious belief, age, gender, etc but how about people give a rough estimate of their financial worth.

Poll above.

A kidney is around £24,000 as far as I remember. Alas you're not able to sell them legally.

Priceless.
Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.
We have nothing to lose but the world. We have our souls to gain.
You!
Me.
Nothing you can possibly do can make God love you any more or any less.

What do you consider the border between significant and insignificant?

Personally ability to maintain ones lifestyle for a year comfortably would be my marker but I'm sure it varies heavily between individuals.

Not a clue, I'm just not particularly comfortable sharing a specific number. Let's just say that if I really wanted to, I wouldn't have to work to sustain a middle-class lifestyle. But since I'd like to try and live a higher-class lifestyle, and I enjoy my future career plans, I'll still be pursuing a career.

Well, my annual salary is just over £16K, so from some angles, I'm worth that much.

If at least to the company I work for - I could definitely get a higher wage doing the same job at another company, but I wouldn't have the job security that I have with my current employer.

I've got about five grand in my accounts (all together), but I can't be arsed to count up the cost of all my possessions. Most of them are old now, so I don't imagine they'd be flogged for that much.
The above post may or may not be serious.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
