    How much would you need to be offered ( per year) to move yourself/ fam to another country. For this example lets say if you are from the US you cannot move to Canada, You can pick anywhere else but once you leave you cannot enter the US again?

    It really depends on the country I'm moving to. If it's some cool cheap place like the Phillipines, etc etc, then I would say 150K annually.. But for a place like South Africa or Switzerland, 1 million annually

    the only thing keeping me in illinois (or the US for that matter) is my family...so does this question factor in never seeing them again, or can i take them with me?
    i could care less about living in the US (although i do enjoy freedoms blah blah etc), but i was paid to live somewhere else and have my family, snap call

    Having spent 6 years living abroad and considering it again, not much...

    never coming back would not be awesome, so maybe a little more than that

    If it really is leaving and never coming back to the US....50 million. Not saying I care that much about my family or anything, but leaving my friends, and all the sports that come with the US would really be killer. So if I were to have 50 million, I could invest a ton and make that investment 10x over and then I can buy a European football team, and once the NFL merges with the rest of the World, I can have my football live again.

    Some people probably could leave for alot less absolutely, but there is just too many things I would miss if I was never allowed to come back that I would need lottery sized money to make the lack of football and friends go away

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my time in Costa Rica -- but one thing I realized while I was there is how f'n awesome the US is. I don't think I would leave and never come back for any amount of money, and I honestly mean that. Being close to family/friends/ etc. is priceless... I'm sure I would probably have a different opinion if I lived somewhere in Europe or something that was a bit more developed, but thats how I stand right now.

    Give me enough for the move and maybe a few month's living expenses and I'd leave it all....the US, my house, taking the wife and kid if necessary lol.

    I'm itching to leave.

    really never thought of this...there are so many things to take into consideration that those livin in the US aren't considering...my guess is that they would "buy out" halfway through the agreement.
