I don't think I'd feel that way.

I wouldn't mind a microburst blowing my shit away as long as my family was safe. Of course, it is easy to say that since I have good insurance. I'd make sure my wife understood we would have a lot less "stuff." "Things" don't matter, they are only tools to help your family have a better life. I can do without the "things" but I can't do without my family.
