Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave the country and never set foot in it again?

And a follow up question: If you were expelled from the country and had only limited financial resources, where would you try to rebuild your life?

I would leave for a million if I could take my family with me. (including my mom, can I do that?) Canada doesn't seem like THAT bad a place to go. Sounds like a good deal to me as a matter of fact. IF Canada was off limits, I'd chose to live someplace beautiful, like Italy. Yeah, I'd have no problem leaving the good old USA for that kinda cash.

If I had to leave, and had limited resources, I guess I would shot for Canada on that one too. Canada is just an extention of the US to me, (and I know Canadians hate to hear that), but it would still "feel" like home there, ya know? I could still see the sports teams I love and watch the same TV shows, it wouldn't be like leaving here at all. No Culture shock!.

Would I take a million to go live in someplace horrible, that would be a good question. Like...For $1,000,000 would you move to the worst gang ridden neighborhood in LA? Uh..NO WAY! Nope..uhuh.

I don't think a million would do it - if I couldn't come back, I'd need lots more to move my family with me. And to never come home for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter or Canada Day???

Definitely not for a million, not even $1,000,000US
