Are you seriously saying you'd literally die for your friends, or is it a metaphorical thing?

If it came down to it, yes I think I would. editted

As for putting yourself first, of course that's being selfish. That's how we stay alive, like when we don't walk in front of trains and stuff. Seriously though, a certain degree of selfishness is not only inherent in human nature, it's necessary to survive. Our ancestors didn't make it through by sacrificing their lives, did they?

Huh? How is not wanting to walk in front of a train being selfish? Maybe we have different ideas of what Self is in this case, but I'm not really following what you mean. I didn't view Self as basic bodily functions or something like that. Basically how I rated this list was by pairing everything up and asking myself, "If I could only have one for the rest of my life, what would I rather have?"
So naturally money came last because I would much rather have my family and friends and be alive, than have money. [And actually now that I think about it, I should have put Career down next to Money.]
