    In concept, yes.

    In practise though, I can't imagine that I'd care enough for any promise that had to be bought from me to not return if I ended up feeling like it.

    Leaving this country forever would some days be payment enough... but I can't say for certain until the situation actually presents itself. I might find myself something of a patriot in that event... though I'd probably still take the mil and head for France.

    a million dollars really isn't that much money, so no.

    Yes. I could live like a king for the rest of my life (which probably wouldn't be that long anyway) in Thailand or Filipines, hell I could even be pretty comfortable in South Korea if I got a little job I enjoyed doing for something to do and some money.

    If I missed my friends enough, I could fly them out.

    yeah, it depends on where I had to go. if I had to live in north korea, I wouldn't be too happy about it.

    if i could choose, fuck yeah. i'd do it for free if I had a place to stay, i'd love to go to another country.

    What if you'll get a billion of dollars and Kim Jong will be your neighbor and will share all of his toys with you?

    Lol that would be a interesting experience. I wonder how Jong would feel about Blue Blood and all"evil stuff" you're into. Plus you'll be on CIA watch list for rest of your life. But I'd probably do same.

    As for those who think they're too good for a million dollars. I think they just dont know what to do if they were forced to leave their native country.

    Yes you cannot live on million dollars in most case, however if you're smart, you can get richer with million of dollars or at least make enough to settle for life.

    It's not a matter of what we think we're "worth". You have to factor in current US finances (real property, liquid, trusts etc) and how that would play out upon emigrating. I bear responsibility for a lot in my family now. I can't think of it in terms of just me. I have to do the best I can by a lot of people ranging in age from 1 - 93 years of age.

    I love where I am, but i could easily not work for twenty years on a million dollar. I mean, that is without any effort. If I put some work into it I could retire comfortably now with that much or work for a while and retire awesomely.

    I could adjust to a new life.

    I think I would.

    I would totally hold out for more money though. A cool million is okay... but 7-8 million would be better.

    I'd go live somewhere else, or several somewhere elses... get a part time job somewhere, live modestly.

    Every once in a while I'd just leave.

    yeah.

    Forever forever? I don't think so. I quite like it here. Offer me 10 mil at least and we'll talk.

    it's not that we're too good for a million dollars, it just sounds like a real low ball offer nowadays.

    give me more money and a ticket to thailand and i'll be happy as a clam.

    Can I take my SO's with me? If they can't come, no amount of money is getting me out of here. If they can, we are going straight to Europe.

    It is depending where you move too. I'd take a million USD and then go move to somewhere like mexico. Although I'd probably settle with a few thousand...it really wouldn't take much for me to leave here, lol.

    yes I am; in fact, I'm worth a whole lot more. 1M is not that much. it may as well be a hundred bucks these days. its chump change. besides, I like living here, and I have no interest in living in another country. visiting, sure, but not relocating.

    I'm also working with the idea that I'll keep doing what I do once I get to said other country. If it's a million dollars and I can't model anymore, then I would turn it down; I'm only 22, I can't live on that forever.

    I was wondering if I was the only one here that would refuse to give up my citizenship in this country.
