Once the infrastructure and technology for revival is established, it won’t be very costly. The economic problem is getting that infrastructure and technology established in the first place.
I would guess you’re far more altruistic than most people. Really, as many as you can afford?
I’m precommiting myself to reviving others, if I have the opportunity; on the assumption that others do the same, this means the marginal benefit to me from signing up for cryopreservation goes up.
And, admittedly, I expect to have a considerable amount of disposable income. “As many as I can afford” means “While maintaining a reasonable standard of living”, but “reasonable” is relative; by deliberately not increasing it too much from what I’m used to as a student, I can get more slack without really losing utilons.
It helps that my hobbies are, by and large, very cheap. Hiking and such. ;)

It’s not altruism, it’s selfishness.
