I think when you asked this you meant money and material things when you said "everything"?

I really don't care about money. I can always earn more. I have spent time in the company of millionaires and I've been with someone I knew in The Projects. What I learned what that there some downright unhappy, empty rich people. Conversely, one of the most special guys I've ever known was extremely poor due to circumstances. He had his car repo'd at one point, rented a room in the boarded-up window barrio, and had massive medical bills due to lack of medical insurance (the medical bills locking him in poverty). He was a great guy. The rich people I've met were not so memorable.

For me to lose "everything" it would mean my family dying, my health seriously failing, and absolutely no friends in the world.
