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  _________________

$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. _________________ League of Legends |

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. _________________ H-E-S-T-E-R is a long, convoluted joke. |

| 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... _________________
