    ah I see you’re still using “person” as a measurement unit instead of the more modern “net worth”

      Am I the only one to find the phrase “net worth” disgusting? It should be “net wealth” or something.

        No, there are at least 2 of us. Even the concept that it’s somehow a useful measure to anyone else than your local tax authorities (except maybe for people running for public office) sounds a bit iffy to me.

        So you are right that giving it a name that ties it to your “worth” as a person is terrible.
