The income and wealth requirements are fairly low. If you don't meet either one, losing $10k is potentially dangerous.

They aren’t low, and it’s not dangerous for me to risk $10k of my own savings.

Net worth with spouse or partner over $1 million excluding primary residence or pre-tax income of $200k individually or $300k with spouse or partner over the last two years. That is very low, and the net worth threshold in particular includes plenty of retired seniors who shouldn't be making risky investments.

You’re right. I didn’t realize it was $300k with spouse. Thanks for the correction (and the good news).
