If you could drop everything and start a new life... would you?
 

If someone came up to you right now and said "I will pay all your debts and all of your bills, but I'm going to give you $100,000 plus whatever cash you have in your wallet and you have to walk away right now..." would you do it?

I'm sure for those who have families it would be a little more difficult, but you would be able to take your kids, but have to leave the wife. No girlfriends allowed, but you can bring your pets.

That also means you couldn't talk to you current friends anymore, but you could still talk to your immediate family members, but could never say where you are or what you are doing, but in a year, they could come back into your life.

However, if you cheated and sent a message to your wife or girlfriend or best friend, you would die.

Hmm....

Oddly enough, this is the dream I had last night :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Odd dream, my answer would be no.

No, I dont have any debt and $100,000 is too little. ;)

i would drop everything but i would not drop the my kid or wife

No debts and 10 million wouldn't get me to leave my family.

If someone offered me $100k to walk away would I do it? No, but only because I've got a kid and that's a huge part of my life.

I pretty much did walk away from everything, multiple times. I left home at 16 cutting all ties to my old friends and family and moved to Massachusetts and reinvented myself. A few years later I left that behind and joined the Marines.

In the Marines I completely reinvented myself, going so far as to change my first name. (Richard is not my legal name.) When I left the Marines I moved clear across country to California.

What a great life I've lead.

Yes, and I'd move to Brazil and live near the beach -- play guitar, surf and fuck 18 year old Garotas. Who could have a better plan that that?

right now yes. sick of working online honestly.

i met a great guy in Florida who was a Marine had some amazing stories to tell

I would drop everything, but not my husband, kid or pets

If it were enough I'd like to travel the world and experience differn't cultures. I think I could handle a year without my family but not a lifetime.

$100,000 would run out too fast to disappear on.

I would leave your family for 10 mill :(

my thinking, 100k not enough at all

how about if you could bring your wife/husband/significant other? then would you?

the $100k is to move to a new place, get a place to live and start a new life. its not meant to last you for a long time, just get your feet off the ground.

Yeah I think you need to raise the stakes here a bit. $100k isn't really THAT much money. It's gotta be a sum that seems unattainable in a reasonable amount of time.

Funny enough, I pretty much did that when the opportunity arose to move to europe. Sold my stuff, quit my job and hopped on the plane never looking back.

Though I didn't have much debt when I left and nobody gave me 100k which was kind of a bummer.

you have a dream you landed in the witness relocation program or what?

you can reinvent yourself anytime you chose. you don't have to walk away from everything to do it.

I've done it two times in my lifetime. The first time I moved to Colorado and became a ski bum at 30. It changed my life and I am forever grateful for my 10 years in Aspen however, it made it very hard for the next jump.

Now, if you where to ask if there where opportunities I regret not having taken or stuck with, I'd have a pretty long list.

for 100k really no

I had too... When I was deported from America... I arrived back in England with just the clothes on my back and less than $400 in my pocket...

So, in a way, I did start a new life. Away from my home, my wife and my dog... :(

lets hear this story...

Not at all. I like where my life is headed right now.

weird and sad dream :(

No story really. Lived in America for about 7 years. Overstayed visa - 6.5 months in Jail... Got deported... :helpme

I can dig that:1orglaugh:thumbsup

can i keep the girl and instead leave the pets?
either way, no. I'd need more than 100,000 to start this new fantasy life of mine.

His family may very well leave him for the 100k. :winkwink:

I would definitely do it for the right amount of money (he said you could take your kids with you), but $100k is not enough.

No, I absolutely would not.
1) Obviously I have a husband and kids that I could never even fathom walking away from
2) I like my life and where I am right now in it.

I am faced with new and sometimes really nasty life challenges every single day and my life has been pretty damn hard in comparison with most, but it's all put me where I am today and it's not a bad place to be. I've learned from all of those bad experiences and used them to carry on in my daily life now. Sure I've made mistakes and I'll make many more, sometimes more than one time, but with each bad experience, I've learned something from it to make me a better person.

I'm in no way perfect and don't want to be, and some of the challenges are ones I prefer not to have... but in the end, it all makes you who you are and if you like who you are, there is no amount of money that can buy you out of that. Life isn't a business proposal, it's an adventure made to enjoy and make the most out of it that you can make.

Not a chance! Although I'm sure I have my price but it would be way more than $100k
