  1. for you to give up your family and all your friends for life? Parameters of this are: you never talk to any of them again, but you remember them etc. They know you got oi them too but know it was for X amount of money. You start a new life over wherever you want with this new money and can make new friends obv. Friends of mine and I have been debating this and have gotten some interesting numbers so far. so wug?

    *you can't send money to them. you will literally have 0 contact with them for the rest of your life.

    yik, there's not gonna be a consensus but interested to hear what people say (especially those that say 'no amount.') and it's not just your family, you're giving up all your friends too

  19. In the end family and friends are all you got, would be absolutely pointless to live without them. I'm all about getting rich and getting paid but not in this case.
  20. so all you guys someone walks up to you with a billion dollars and you're going to turn it down? btw so far, amongst all the people we've asked we've gotten some pretty varying numbers; only one person said no amount.

    Reread OP, u can make new friends and some (not u and me apparently) wouldn't mind a shitton of $ and start over. Not everyone has irreplacable friends and not everyone has (or likes) their family

    True, but money allows you to buy a big enough boat to pull up right alongside it.

    That being said, I am not leaving my daughter for any amount.
  23. i love my family but for 1 million euros, i dont mind never seeing them again. I'll just create a random name account on facebook and will add my mom. She will have no clue but will blindly accept my request and I will be able to see all the stuff that goes on in my family on her wall. Deal done.
  24. $10 000 000 000
  25. 2.25 mil

    i'd have no problem making new friends...but i wouldn't do well without my family.

    i don't think any amount of money would ever make me stop thinking about them...i'd just be a depressed billionaire. not to mention my wife and bun in the oven.

    No not a chance, you could write me a check right now, and I'd say no without a second thought. That's a shitload of money and all but there is way more to life than dollars.

    Pretty much the same at this point in my life. Minus the wife and newborn baby, might be able to think of a number, although it would have to be a super high amount.
  29. no amount. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

    I thought maybe 1 billion. Then spend the rest of my life giving it all away to those in need, like 20mil a year. But even with all the charity, the impulse to do it would still come from a very selfish place.
  30. No ammount of money. Even incarcerated there is your family there for you. Couldnt do it.
