$500m to stay in your neighbourhood ?
 
Seen this post on another forum and thought it was an interesting question.

If you were given $500,000,000 to stay within your neighborhood and could never leave (except medical emergency) would you do it?

If so, how would you spend the money?

Don't you think you would get bored?


You cant leave, ever for any reason other than death, emergency and legal obligations like court summons.

like I can't go to another town ever?

what are the definitions of "neighborhood" that this assumes? Like can I hop my back fence and cross a street to go to a store that has good beer and a beer garden? or do I have to go to the one on the same side of the street as me?

can my wife leave?

can she take the money and then *I* can leave?

I live in a country area so I would give it a few days then would be bored, if you could stay within let's say 20miles then It wouldn't be that bad

No, you can't leave. Not go anywhere else but yes, your wife can leave ( i dont blame her :D :p )

She can take your money and leave, you can never leave if you accept it.

See, we had a discussion of what makes a neighborhood here as well... is it a set point of range or an area larger than your street but not larger than say 6 blocks... (how big is a block?????). We decided our neighborhood had approx 300 houses and went from 2 streets over main street to the park behind us and from the side streets north and south of us, encasing us in what we felt was the hood block.

Because I have some land I have an idea on acerage. I would say a block in the country would be 100 - 150 acres max.

Would you take $500,000,000 to stay within that and never leave.

I would be able to hit the corn fields, town is about 10 miles. I don't think I would take that, maybe if I lived close to stuff.
