One million dollars

[Hobgoblin]

If someone gave you the opportunity to earn a million dollars by living , completely alone , and utterly cut off from civilization and human contact in the Alaskan wilderness for 10 years.

Would you do it ?

[melannie_star]

today, I say yes..
Tomorrow might be a different story..
Honestly, I could live isolated though survival instincts is always best in population lol.

[PsychedelicMut]

No. Although, if friendly extraterrestrials said I could go with them with the following conditions. 1. We would leave immediately. 2. No goodbyes to anyone. 3. Strip totally naked to enter the ship. 4. I would never return.

Within 30 seconds I would be stark naked.

Of course there is an equal chance of either happening. ZERO

That's only 100k a year. Going to take more than that.

[roaringfork]

In a heartbeat.

How about 250,000 to sing song?

Mine would need a few more zeros

It depends.

Am I primitive camping for an entire decade.......or setting up shop in a two-story 4,000 sq foot custom built log cabin with electricity, natural gas, etc...all the trappings of comfort? (this includes a media room, too, with an infinite inventory of movies at my disposal....)

Food.....what's the scoop on that? Am I hunting, fishing, trapping, growing my own OR do I have an 18-wheeler freezer truck full of my favorite treats? If I ration myself....I could make it last.

Do I have a fully stocked library of the great novels of all time? Do I have a complete gym with all the state-of-the-art equipment (of course I do.....it's my fantasy so why not?)

Ten years is a long time....but not so if you're able to occupy your time / mind properly. If I live to be 80 and I'm sacrificing 1/8 of my life to re-enter society with $1 mil (tax free....I insist) in the bank......where do I sign up?

100K a year and no ECCIE. I don't think so.

[python54]

Don't forget.....no sun for 6 months!.....That's one hell of a long lonely night!

[cowboy8055]

A million bucks to basically lose 10 years of your life. No thanks.
With my luck I'd get eaten by a bear on the last day.

[Guest010619]

No, not worth it to me, besides in 10 years that 1million would be worth $500,000.
