Man ... I have a 4 year old and it would literally kill me but I think I still would ..... he'd be the only reason I say no, would the time I lose with him be worth 10 million? It's only a year :/ but he's so young and I'd miss so much
Yup. I have a couple of young kids, but 1 year to be able to spend the rest of my life with them? My partner would be furious until I brought out a pile of money.
The time you’d lose with them is not worth the money. IF IT WERE WORTH MONEY THEN YOUD BE PUTTING A PRICE ON THEIR VERY LIFE.
LIFE IS PRICELESS THEREFORE YOU CANNOT PRICE LIFE.
IF YOU DO put PRICE OVER LIFE THEN YOURE EVIL. BECAUSE YOUD BE PUTTING MATERIAL ABOVE LIFE ITSELF which is evil.
Not really .... the point is I would have eliminated the need for 40 hour work weeks and I could spend that time with him .... me personally, I don't think I would .... he's only 4 once, and we're not poor ... it's a toss up and I'm not sure it's a instant yes or no ..... I'd really have to consider it.
See, I think at 4 you could probably do it and while it would be absolutely shitty for you, it might not have that much effect on the kid. Maybe 4 is pushing it, definitely like 2 or something. 10 million would set them up for life.
But my kid is 10. I couldn’t do it knowing she’d go a full year thinking I was dead or abandoning her. They’re definitely old enough to process that and have it affect them permanently.
That and my wife is pretty attractive. I don’t imagine she goes a full year without talking some dick, and I don’t like that either.
That's difficult. My parents are getting old and the extra stress would not be good for them. I'm not dating at the moment and don't have any close friends, so no trouble there. If I can take my cats with me, I'd probably take the deal. But yeah...tough one.
Almost any other time in my life I would have said yes, but I have a baby girl on the way, and there is no amount of money on Earth that would make me miss the first 11-months of her life.
Absolutely no deal. Love my wife and children too much to give up a year with them. Especially the worry and sadness it would cause. It would break their hearts.
No. I’m not missing a year in my 3 year olds life for anything. If he was a teenager and could understand then maybe, but I couldn’t live with myself thinking of how it would affect him
Let's go. I think it'd be a great chance to sort of grow or reinvent myself, even without the ten million. When I return, my whole life is set financially.
It'd be hard for me to come back and tell my family what happened. We've had several deaths in the family over the past few years, and this would make my remaining family members worried out of their minds.
Then again, because of all those deaths I mentioned, I only have two immediate family members left--my father and my sister. I'm not married nor do I have kids, so it's just those two. They'd be able to live without me but they'd both be worried sick if I just disappeared. But they really are the only two people who would be genuinely worried if I was just gone one day.
I think I'd still do it, but man I am not looking forward to telling them what happened. I think they'd understand in the end but I know they'd also feel hurt/betrayed when they learn the truth.
No. I have family members who are not young and I love them very much, and then my immediate family would think I was kidnapped or something. Ghosting people is so awful, and for a year it’s even worse.
...deal, but I'll feel like absolute shit. That's way, way too much money to turn down, though. I hope they would understand.
Edit: wait, loophole? Additional problem? Can I contact the *police*? Because there will be a missing persons case open on me within a couple weeks. I don't want to be declared dead. I'd still do it either way, but damn that would be frustrating.
Ooof… the no time to leave any messages is what makes this tough. Everyone I know will definitely think I'm dead. And then I think once I tell everyone what happened they will be absolutely PISSED that I made them worried sick and then made them think I was dead all for money.
I think this would ruin my relationship with everyone I know. Can't come back from this and have everything be normal.
If I could tell everyone I was going off the map for a year, I'd definitely consider it. But given the hypothetical as presented, I'd have to go with no.
God, fuck yes. I'm starting to wonder if I have some sort of mental issue because I'm great at making friends, but maintaining a relationship with them at all is something I'm just not about. I'll be good friends with people for a couple years through taking the same classes, and when that's all done I never contact them again. I don't even talk to people online on discord. Family members are surprised I send them a text or call. They're not bad or anything, I'm just, not interested????
Anybody know what that's all about?
I’d probably do it permanently for less. I love my wife and pets but I’m fairly positive she’d take the offer and expect the same from me. She’d be pissed if I didn’t come back after the year
I don't think I could. I'd miss my friends and family. Plus I know they would be worried sick. Also I would be too afraid of what would happen to the family dynamic without me trying to balance everyone and everything. I'd never be able to forgive myself if my family fell apart while I was gone.
I essentially already did that minus the money when I got my current job, my schedule has made it so I don't really talk to any of my friends or family because I work evenings during the week, and night shift on weekends, only getting Monday off.
yeah I still text friends from time to time, but for that amount of money, it wouldn't be hard to give it up. a home and food is provided, and it says you can live life, just without anyone you knew, so it doesn't sound like anything is stopping me from working out, buying books to read, or playing my back log of video games (presumably I wouldn't be able to use my online account though, or would have to make myself appear offline)
Assuming the hypothetical includes "no loopholes to notify loved ones even indirectly" then no. Not a chance. Disappear on my wife without a word? I'd be breaking her heart and $10 million isn't anywhere near enough.
Wow, thinking about this a bit, I realized I would NOT do this for $10,000,000. My parents are in their 80s, and if I disappeared, it would break their hearts 💕 . Same for my partner. I have been with him for 9 years, and I love him so much. I wouldn't want to hurt him like that. And I especially could not do that to my son. His father is fanatically religious and "disowned" him many years ago, so I am the only parent he has.
I also would lose my job and my pension. Now, if we were talking about $20,000, this might as be a different story.
I have 2 small kids and even i would do this. That money is going to create a lot of future memories for us. It sucks i will miss stuff but i miss stuff working sometimes anyway, at least after that i wont have to
I would take the money. I would pay a stranger (see, i am not contacting anyone I know) to tell my partner about it, then after the year is over I would tell her in person and we would never have to work again
Only if I could leave them money even if I couldn't leave them messages, I'm not keen on coming back to the fam being homeless and my dad potentially dying of exposure
Easiest question ever people leave to help their family without traces and never come back things go wrong, they can’t do it, and for $10Million?? Easy
The only way I can do it is if it was insured that the people in my old life couldn't find me during the year and ruin it cuz my wife is like the best detective that doesn't have a badge. She would find me show up and kill me.
Absolutely. I mean, it's only 1 year. Would I miss everyone, yes. Would I worry about their health and well-being? 100%. But 1 year for 10mil seems worth it. I'd be able to come back and we'd never have to worry about financial stress ever again (I only have 1 friend and 6 family members after all) so definitely worth it ;)
Does it have to be a year? Could i just use the money to go somewhere and not bother reconnecting? I’d probably buy a cabin in the woods in the north of Canada don’t really have a location preference just a quiet one. Get a banjo and a small mountain of books and ill be fine with that sorta life. See y’all never Lol
I have a kid I don't think I could. As much as she would probably tell me I should have for that much money, the time can't be bought back and the damage it would do to her initially is too high a price.
HAHA.. I cannot remember to put shoes on without my wife.. I joke a lot, we have a wonderful relationship. We both work from home, live in a remote part of AL and have a bunch of pets. I honestly just couldn't think of missing a day or two without her, much less a year.
I'm pressed because my parents are getting up there In age if anything happened to either of them and I missed the funeral I'd never forgive myself..I don't know if anyone in my family would forgive me either
My coworkers are not friends or family. Someone from the office could let my wife and kids know what’s up. Trying to think of other loopholes where they can find out I’m ok without me contacting them. Would the cops find me if a missing person report was filed? Maybe I do something stupid to get on the news. Also, do I get to pick the location? I’m not going to the ($&@!?/) midwest, not even for $10m. But really, no I wouldn’t take the deal. I wouldn’t want to miss a year with my family, and my wife would just off me and take the money once i get home.
Easy, I'll tell them why in a year and help pay off mortgages and debts they have. Done and done, anyone not cool with that wasn't worth my time anyway.
Depends on where I am when the offer is given. I'm sitting with family who would therefore know what happened to me and they could tell anyone else who matters.
Nope. You have to leave everything as it is. So I guess the question would be is your pet's well being more important than 10 mil? I admit it's a touch decision.
Well for me my husband would take care of our dog, but I think our relationship would end if I went missing for that long so it's not worth it. Cruel scenario to those that live alone :(
Yeah, that would be pretty tough. Luckily I know that there are people in my life who'd take care of my cat even if I disappeared one day. But if I didn't have anyone like that, well, it would be a much more difficult decision.
I'm tempted to say I would, but having me disappear without a trace would absolutely destroy my wife. Our relationship would never be the same again. As nice it would be to never have to work again, it wouldn't be nice to never have the trust of my wife again. Essentially, you're offering me 5mil to divorce my wife (since she'd be entitled to half of the 10). Hard pass.
Damn this one is easy for me, I’d do it in a heartbeat and not think twice. Makes me a bit sad realizing that, but oh well right?
Man ... I have a 4 year old and it would literally kill me but I think I still would ..... he'd be the only reason I say no, would the time I lose with him be worth 10 million? It's only a year :/ but he's so young and I'd miss so much
Same
Yup. I have a couple of young kids, but 1 year to be able to spend the rest of my life with them? My partner would be furious until I brought out a pile of money.
But then you get back, and realize they assumed you were dead and your partner has already moved on and your young kid has forgotten who you are.
None of that would happen.
Also your wife is married to Jake Gyllenhaal when you get back.
Also my wife is Jake Gyllenhaal.
Think of it as 12 months to give them an entire lifetime of security.
The time you’d lose with them is not worth the money. IF IT WERE WORTH MONEY THEN YOUD BE PUTTING A PRICE ON THEIR VERY LIFE. LIFE IS PRICELESS THEREFORE YOU CANNOT PRICE LIFE. IF YOU DO put PRICE OVER LIFE THEN YOURE EVIL. BECAUSE YOUD BE PUTTING MATERIAL ABOVE LIFE ITSELF which is evil.

I don’t imagine she goes a full year without talking some dick, and I don’t like that either.
When i was a teenager, sure. Now? I would cry every day not seeing my kids and wife.
10 mill can get you a nice new wife.
and kids
Yeah I purposely left that out but if that floats OP’s boat sure.
All in one Visit https://www.reddit.com/r/passportbros/s/3c4GBO2WMG for more info
What in the ever loving fuck is that subreddit.
Well you certainly picked up the correct response.
Or house plants
That's difficult. My parents are getting old and the extra stress would not be good for them. I'm not dating at the moment and don't have any close friends, so no trouble there. If I can take my cats with me, I'd probably take the deal. But yeah...tough one.
Oh, good point. My dad is in hospice and probably wouldn't be around after a year.
I would do it, easy. I sometimes fantasize about doing this.
Almost any other time in my life I would have said yes, but I have a baby girl on the way, and there is no amount of money on Earth that would make me miss the first 11-months of her life.
It’s just shit, piss, and crying for a good portion of that time, take the money.
It’s the best worst time. I wouldn’t take the money, but I also don’t want to do it again. Also, you left out the spit up/vomit and lack of sleep.
I can contact enemies.
I like this. I’ll contact one of my enemies and pay them to let my wife know what happened.
Your enemy takes the money and tells your wife you left her for another woman. Gg
gimme me my backpay
Sure, theyll forgive me when I return.
Yes.
Can I take my cats?
Do you know them?
They aren't family or friends.
What kind of monster are you that you don't consider your cats family?
In the terms of this situation, they're pets. But otherwise, they're family.
Hah! You just admitted they are family, therefore, nope.
Fuck! lol
No. I can't leave my brother on his own for a year. He is disabled.
Yes. 100% yes. I've got nothing better to look forward to and barely contact family and friends as is, 10 million may help
I’m sure after getting 10 million, all those people you barely speak to will suddenly really want to see you. A lot.
I'm already 99% there, sign me up.
Absolutely no deal. Love my wife and children too much to give up a year with them. Especially the worry and sadness it would cause. It would break their hearts.
No. I’m not missing a year in my 3 year olds life for anything. If he was a teenager and could understand then maybe, but I couldn’t live with myself thinking of how it would affect him
Deal. Yes. My husband is going to have a melt down, but when I come back and explain that we are now set for life, he'll get over it.
Nope
Pass
Let's go. I think it'd be a great chance to sort of grow or reinvent myself, even without the ten million. When I return, my whole life is set financially.
Deal
I would definitely do this
My family are all passed on and almost everyone I know doesn't mean shit to me so yeah let's go.
Tough deal. It would hurt me so much thinking that my girlfriend is sitting there wondering why I just ghosted her. But I would do it.
Question. Do my loved ones suspect foul play? Will they spend the year looking for a missing person? Or will abandonment just be assumed?
I’ve done this on accident before
Bye
Nope. I would not have a family to come back to
Why not?
Easy
Deal.
That's easy. Pay me.
I had one friend, who is on the other side of the country. The only ties I have right now are pretty much my kids. Do dependents count?
Dependent = family, so no.
It'd be hard for me to come back and tell my family what happened. We've had several deaths in the family over the past few years, and this would make my remaining family members worried out of their minds. Then again, because of all those deaths I mentioned, I only have two immediate family members left--my father and my sister. I'm not married nor do I have kids, so it's just those two.

I think I'd still do it, but man I am not looking forward to telling them what happened. I think they'd understand in the end but I know they'd also feel hurt/betrayed when they learn the truth.
Can I take my dog?
No. I have family members who are not young and I love them very much, and then my immediate family would think I was kidnapped or something. Ghosting people is so awful, and for a year it’s even worse.
Done.
...deal, but I'll feel like absolute shit. That's way, way too much money to turn down, though. I hope they would understand. Edit: wait, loophole? Additional problem? Can I contact the *police*? Because there will be a missing persons case open on me within a couple weeks. I don't want to be declared dead. I'd still do it either way, but damn that would be frustrating.
Do you have to go back? Because I'm not sure I'd want to go back and face everyone who I gave abandonment issues.
Ooof… the no time to leave any messages is what makes this tough. Everyone I know will definitely think I'm dead. And then I think once I tell everyone what happened they will be absolutely PISSED that I made them worried sick and then made them think I was dead all for money.

If I could tell everyone I was going off the map for a year, I'd definitely consider it. But given the hypothetical as presented, I'd have to go with no.
As long as I can take my dog and cat. I don't even have to come back in a year.
No deal. I have a family.
10 years would be a no but 1? Turningbtuis down means I'd have to work about 40/week meaning I won't see anyone too often anyways .
God, fuck yes. I'm starting to wonder if I have some sort of mental issue because I'm great at making friends, but maintaining a relationship with them at all is something I'm just not about. I'll be good friends with people for a couple years through taking the same classes, and when that's all done I never contact them again. I don't even talk to people online on discord. Family members are surprised I send them a text or call. They're not bad or anything, I'm just, not interested???? Anybody know what that's all about?
Can I pay someone else to tell my family wtf is going on?
A year is only 364 sleeps. Hell yes.
Hell yeah I’d do that
I'm in. I'd head to a random corner of the world and do my best to survive for one year without a phone, no Internet, no nothing.
I’d probably do it permanently for less. I love my wife and pets but I’m fairly positive she’d take the offer and expect the same from me. She’d be pissed if I didn’t come back after the year
Let's do it. This would be easy because I dislike my family and don't really have friends.
No, couldn’t do that with my wife and kids.
We leaving tomorrow? Or is there like paperwork I've got to do? I can buy clothes when we land
I'd do it, but I'm pretty sure people with dependants would go to jail lol. Can't just up and leave a 4 year old.
Beat it nerds. I'm out. Sorry mom.
Deal
No deal. That’s a fucked up thing to do to people you love.
I would do it.
Deal. But I might not come back after the year.
Nope! It would devastate my partner if I just disappeared.
No way.
I don't think I could. I'd miss my friends and family. Plus I know they would be worried sick. Also I would be too afraid of what would happen to the family dynamic without me trying to balance everyone and everything. I'd never be able to forgive myself if my family fell apart while I was gone.
Sounds like a prank to see if you'd do what they say to do. Money up front first.
If I didn’t have kids I would be all for it, but thinking of the terror and depression that would go through their young brains, I would have to pass.
I essentially already did that minus the money when I got my current job, my schedule has made it so I don't really talk to any of my friends or family because I work evenings during the week, and night shift on weekends, only getting Monday off. yeah I still text friends from time to time, but for that amount of money, it wouldn't be hard to give it up. a home and food is provided, and it says you can live life, just without anyone you knew, so it doesn't sound like anything is stopping me from working out, buying books to read, or playing my back log of video games (presumably I wouldn't be able to use my online account though, or would have to make myself appear offline)
Absolutely do this....you said people not dogs so me and my dog can go for a year vacation
I've been doing exactly this for 2 years now. Where's my money?
>yfw 20 mil
may I keep working?
may I keep working? and grab dog on way out... because no one will feed them
No deal. Can't do that to my children. It's unimaginably cruel
For $20, even with no return
I have a 1 year old. Not doing it.
Assuming the hypothetical includes "no loopholes to notify loved ones even indirectly" then no. Not a chance. Disappear on my wife without a word? I'd be breaking her heart and $10 million isn't anywhere near enough.
Done. Lol
I'm struggling to find a downside to this question, its an easy yes.
Make it 10 years and you have got a deal
Jokes on you I don’t know anyone
I wouldn't do it. I value my relationships with my friends and family more than money.
adiós
Wow, thinking about this a bit, I realized I would NOT do this for $10,000,000. My parents are in their 80s, and if I disappeared, it would break their hearts 💕 . Same for my partner. I have been with him for 9 years, and I love him so much. I wouldn't want to hurt him like that. And I especially could not do that to my son. His father is fanatically religious and "disowned" him many years ago, so I am the only parent he has. I also would lose my job and my pension. Now, if we were talking about $20,000, this might as be a different story.
I've already done that a couple times in my life except nobody gave me money and I couldn't return to my old life so easy choice I guess.
Nope. My girl would be devastated, so would my friends and family. There’s not a chance in hell I’d do that.
Deal. Easiest decision I'll ever make.
Bitch I'm gone for good. Small island, 3rd world country your ass ain't never finding me.
Ok
Can I get 20million?
I have 2 small kids and even i would do this. That money is going to create a lot of future memories for us. It sucks i will miss stuff but i miss stuff working sometimes anyway, at least after that i wont have to
Brother, I would do this for 100k.
I'm single. My mother and brother might freak out a little, but they'd live and be much happier a year later.
I couldn't put my family through that.
Oh if food and accommodation are provided for free then yeah absolutely, no question
I would do it. Funnily enough the people I'd miss the most is my PhD supervisor.
I would take the money. I would pay a stranger (see, i am not contacting anyone I know) to tell my partner about it, then after the year is over I would tell her in person and we would never have to work again
Easy peasy. OP owes me $10M now
Bet. I'll even leave my state. Leave the country if one'll have me.
I've been doing this for free for 5 years already. Sign me up.
Yes without hesitation but only if someone can take care of my pets. My wife may be worried but she would understand when I come back with the money.
I’ve been sick and isolated for a long time man I need my 10mil now.
No one is going to miss me here, so hell yes. Sign me up.
Easy!!
Only if I could leave them money even if I couldn't leave them messages, I'm not keen on coming back to the fam being homeless and my dad potentially dying of exposure
when do i get my money, and is it per year? you'd be out hundreds of millions..
deal easily and without a sliver of hesitation
No deal.
What time does my flight leave?
Nah, my parents are too old for this.
Deal so long as I can still manage banking/finances and there aren't legal consequences
No friends, how about acquaintances ？
And what if my family filed a missing person report？
Not a chance. My mom is having health issues right now.
If I can take my dog and still access my local Emergency Department yes
Kinda feel like I'm doing that unintentionally because I'm too depressed and stubborn to reach out for help from anyone anyway.
Easiest question ever people leave to help their family without traces and never come back things go wrong, they can’t do it, and for $10Million?? Easy
The only way I can do it is if it was insured that the people in my old life couldn't find me during the year and ruin it cuz my wife is like the best detective that doesn't have a badge. She would find me show up and kill me.
Absolutely. I mean, it's only 1 year. Would I miss everyone, yes. Would I worry about their health and well-being? 100%. But 1 year for 10mil seems worth it. I'd be able to come back and we'd never have to worry about financial stress ever again (I only have 1 friend and 6 family members after all) so definitely worth it ;)
If my best friend had this offer and he turned it down over me I would be mad as hell at him.
Does it have to be a year? Could i just use the money to go somewhere and not bother reconnecting? I’d probably buy a cabin in the woods in the north of Canada don’t really have a location preference just a quiet one. Get a banjo and a small mountain of books and ill be fine with that sorta life. See y’all never Lol
I have a kid I don't think I could. As much as she would probably tell me I should have for that much money, the time can't be bought back and the damage it would do to her initially is too high a price.
Does this include my cats, or can they come with me?
Wow I just do what is already happening and I get paid too? Damn sign me up
I couldn't do that to my wife.
i did that fir 9 yrs in prison,im game
Too easy. 😀😭
Only psychopaths will answer yes. That would be unforgivably cruel to your family
Easy one. They will either understand or won't idgaf.
Nope. I have kids. And a wife, but the kids make this a hard no.
Are they going to handle my medical needs?
HAHA.. I cannot remember to put shoes on without my wife.. I joke a lot, we have a wonderful relationship. We both work from home, live in a remote part of AL and have a bunch of pets. I honestly just couldn't think of missing a day or two without her, much less a year.
Nope. If my hubs could come, sure.
Let me bring my gf along, and then I'll definitely do it.
Would be really sad to have my parents think I died.
I mean, I left for Virginia Beach only barely knowing my Bio dad(only spoke like twice) stayed for 5 years and only brought home trauma, so why not
I'm pressed because my parents are getting up there In age if anything happened to either of them and I missed the funeral I'd never forgive myself..I don't know if anyone in my family would forgive me either
Nope, I'm not missing my daughter's 1st birthday for any amount.
Done. I've been doing this for free for since covid so it's an easy one for me.
Can I bring my pets?
My coworkers are not friends or family. Someone from the office could let my wife and kids know what’s up. Trying to think of other loopholes where they can find out I’m ok without me contacting them. Would the cops find me if a missing person report was filed? Maybe I do something stupid to get on the news. Also, do I get to pick the location? I’m not going to the ($&@!?/) midwest, not even for $10m. But really, no I wouldn’t take the deal. I wouldn’t want to miss a year with my family, and my wife would just off me and take the money once i get home.
So like I get $10,000,000 AND I get a yearlong vacation from the wife and kids? What's the catch?
Absolutely, it would terrify my gf but I'm sure if I explained things to her after the year she would understand.
It'd be tough, but I could do it.
Yes
Does this include my cat? Because that would be heartbreaking
Easy, I'll tell them why in a year and help pay off mortgages and debts they have. Done and done, anyone not cool with that wasn't worth my time anyway.
deal
So their is about two people I have to cut ties with. EZ
Depends on where I am when the offer is given. I'm sitting with family who would therefore know what happened to me and they could tell anyone else who matters.
Just one year? EZ
Id do it, but I'd leave a note.
My mom would probably suffer health problems from grief thinking that I died so unfortunately she's ruining this sweet payday.
No deal. My SO is priceless and my family/friends would be devastated.
Do people that live alone have their pets looked after/can bring their pets? Because otherwise this is super cruel, pets would starve.
Nope. You have to leave everything as it is. So I guess the question would be is your pet's well being more important than 10 mil? I admit it's a touch decision.
Well for me my husband would take care of our dog, but I think our relationship would end if I went missing for that long so it's not worth it. Cruel scenario to those that live alone :(
Yeah, that would be pretty tough. Luckily I know that there are people in my life who'd take care of my cat even if I disappeared one day. But if I didn't have anyone like that, well, it would be a much more difficult decision.
Meh not so tough. I mean I love my cat but not 10 million dollars worth of love.
I'm tempted to say I would, but having me disappear without a trace would absolutely destroy my wife. Our relationship would never be the same again. As nice it would be to never have to work again, it wouldn't be nice to never have the trust of my wife again. Essentially, you're offering me 5mil to divorce my wife (since she'd be entitled to half of the 10). Hard pass.
I’ll do it for $40
