I do hope anyone reading this thread who has considered this option steps back and sees the big picture. Thousands, maybe millions of people live on the equivalent of $1 a day. It is ok to be broke.

It is quite sad. Very very sad what he had to do, when he was not even near broke.

As for the 1 US$ a day part .....actually it is Billions. Billions of human beings live each day on the equivalent, or less, of US$ 1 a day. Yet they never commit mass suicide.

This guy still had a lot of money left ...yes, less than what he had the same time last year, but all the same a lot of money by the standards of 99.999% of the World's population (or even 99% of Germany's population).

Yet he threw himself in front of a train, mangling himself, definitely throwing his family into a tailspin, and traumatizing the poor driver!

So now he’s worth ‘only’ $100 Mil. and can’t mix in the same circles. SO TAKE EARLY RETIREMENT! Go live in a foreign country, buy a village and have a slower, yet peaceful life. Come On!! This is nut.

I sure hope you’re right that “it is ok to be broke” because I think a whole lot of people are going to be real broke, real soon. Lack of money sure isn’t a reason to off yourself.
