That's criminal, sorry. Let's say that you have own a house worth 300,000, car, and other possessions totalling a net worth of 350,000. That's the same as getting a $5,000 speeding ticket for going 85 in a 50mph zone.

Thankfully I'm an American citizen, where the same speeding ticket might go for $150-200 depending on the jurisdiction.
