An interesting question to ask is what you would do when faced with a tradeoff between those two options.

What if one day you came to a point where you HAD to choose one or the other, because they were mutually exclusive? Would you choose your own money, or provide value for others at the expense of your own money.

I don't mean to imply that this will happen or that it's even realistic, but I think it can make an interesting thought experiment.

I guess another way to think of it would be, "What are you willing to DIE for?" What is so important to you that you would sooner protect it than protect your own life?
