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
