Would you accept a large sum of money to leave your native country and never set foot in it again?

That means no vacations, no visits, nothing.

Oh and by large sum we're talking $1-2 million.

I wouldn't consider 1 or 2 million large sums of money in the grand scheme of things. There are (relatively) small houses here in Louisville that push 1mil.

So, no.

really?

For 200k you could get a massive house in Texas...

But it won't matter cause you wouldn't be in Louisville, you'd be in some other country.

You could live on 2 mil for the rest of your life in one of these more impoverished nations hehe.

I'd just move to Canada <.<

It's probably pretty easy to live on 1 or 2 million for the rest of your life, provided you don't actually try to live like a millionaire Razz

$2000 a month after 200k for a house you would be able to last for:

75 years. I think you'd be ok, and $2k is pretty easy to live on now without any bills to pay. Also, you could gain some interest on this money.

A couple hours and I'm on the other side of the border anyways, wouldn't be a big hassle.

Everybody I know is here, so no.

Actually, that's a lie. I know a lot of Mandarin Chinese kids now that I'm at a tech school. But I'd never move to PRC China, so still not an option.

I'd move to Mexico, and use that cash to take over all the turfs of the drug lords and make all the money. Then I'd kill whomever said I could never return to the states because I'd be a f---ing billionaire. True story.

half/half split, I find this interesting. I think the biggest factor has been if people had friends/family they didn't want to leave...

Hell, I'm pretty sure I'm never going back and I'm only pulling in like $30,000 a year.
