HAHAHAHA!!! what happened Andy? did someone offer you $10million if you'd drop your family?

Oh, heck no... I love my family too much as much as they're a pain in the ****. LOL They drive me insane at times, there are times they annoy the shyte out of me and there are times when I feel like I'm a walking ATM to them... but no money in the world would do for me to leave them.

Yeah, I'm sick.

Crime doesn't pay in the long run. Sad thing is . . . 2 kids were left behind. If I could, I would ask this very same question of this person, now.

Greed caught up to this individual. This person did not think everything out and consider any of the consequences. Fast cashola definitely kicked this person in the a$$.

Perhaps, it's not a 'He.' Let's just say that there is a whole mess of water between here and there.

Yes, absolutely . . . However, once you leave the country, you will no longer be able to have any contact with the ones whom you have left behind.

The only country I've thought of moving to is Australia; been there and love it. The family part would suck since the only real family I have are my parents and two brothers. My best friend is one of my younger brothers. He'd take it bad if I left.

Other than that I could do. I could live happily in Sydney. I'd miss the 49ers but watching Net Ball* isn't all that bad.

My family and friends can take care of themselves... I'd take the money and cut out to Taiwan, Korea, and Japan! Wait, but how would this losing all of your friends thing work? I have friends everywhere...

Other than a few creative answers, which don't apply here, it seems that there are a few people willing to trade in their current lives for 10 million dollars.

Interesting . . . This sort of helps me understand a situation, which happened to us some 5 months ago . . . And as such, I am still trying to understand the perceived value of money.

So this is the latest part of the story you told me about a few months back Andy. I can't believe she left her family (kids even) over money. Truely sad.

I would never leave my family/friends over money.

I hope your family didn't get affected too much outside of some monetary losses.

Now, if #2 wasn't part of the equation, I would take the money AND the family / friends would come with
