If you give me a million and I have to risk it, now I'm risking 100% of what I have (assuming I didnt have a mil to start with).

That's what I was trying to fit in with my example...I think most folks would be willing to do some hard labor (dig ditches) for a week for $100,000. That's a large amount of money for a week's time. Of course, give them $100 Million and that $100,000 becomes somewhat meaningless.
