I wouldn't give up the people in my life. Couldn't.
Just a fun poll to make you think...

I could never bring myself to take the money if that was the price. I have trouble reaching out to strangers in the first place, and the loneliness that would occur in the meantime... I'd die. I really think I would.

If it wasn't for my son I would think about it at least but NO amount of money would be worth losing my boy!
I would like to know if there is anyone who has children who would actually do it?

Okay so here is the scenario:
You are offered 1 BILLION dollars, but the catch is, is that everyone you have ever known (even your family), will lose their memory of you. So basically, you are a stranger to them.
You are able to become close with any of these people that once knew you, but you will have to rebuild the relationship from the ground up. Also, telling them about past memories together is useless, as they will NEVER EVER remember (and most likely think you are crazy).
You will have all memories still, but they will have none of you.
Anyways, I guess this is kinda "useless" because this will never happen, but I thought it would be kinda interesting for others to think about and to read eachothers replies.. Also, I am wondering if there would be a major difference between those that have a child(ren), or are married/single, etc. less

If it were a different time in my life, I'd surely take the money. But as of now, I have people in my life I'd rather not lose.
09/04/2011
Ok, you take the money and everyone forgets about you. If that includes the people who offered you the money, you might not be able to collect it or they might try to get the money back.

No, money doesn't buy happiness or love or bonds or life long memories and friends. Screw that. I'm not poor, I make an ok living and I am certainly not rich and I honestly don't think I would want to be. My family, friends and boyfriend are all too important to me.
09/05/2011
Considering I don't get along well with/like a lot of the people, the money is quite tempting! But there are two people who I couldn't give up - my dad, who is my best friend (pathetic, I know, but we're just too alike for there to be any other to be closer to), and my girl, who lives in another country, so without that bond already there, it'd be supremely difficult to get back in touch with her, again, and rekindle the romance.
09/05/2011
I'd take the money. We're not really all that close and the memories we do have of each other aren't all that good. This way I could cut off from the ones I don't want anything to do with with any hard feelings and then reestablish a new relationship with those I do want in my life and this time the memories would be good ones. And I'd be able to take care of them with the money and help them out.
09/05/2011
Also I don't have any kids or a husband or boyfriend so there's nothing really there to change my answer. But still even if there was I'd still probably say yes.
09/05/2011
Love is a wealth all its own that is worth more than any materialistic objects this world has to offer.
09/05/2011
Great question! I could never do that, though! I couldn't live without my family and fiancee!
09/05/2011
I wouldn't take it. Even if you could cope without all the people you love, think about how much harder it would be to forge good strong relationships from the ground up - could you be sure they didn't just want to be close to you for all that money you now have? You wouldn't have ANYONE who knew you before you had money, so you might be double lonely and get real jaded never being sure if you had a single person who loved you for you.
09/05/2011
I could never ever give up the people in my life.. especially my husband and my kids.. and if my husband ever forgot all the memories we have together, it would kill me inside.. one of my worst fears of getting old is forgetting cuz I dont ever wanna forget and dont want anyone else to forget either. Sure theres moments in my life I sometimes wish I could forget, but they helped make me who I am today and get me to where I am which is SO incredibly happy.. Money isnt everything, and the best things I have in my life didn't cost a penny. So nope, I wouldn't take the money
09/06/2011
I would never, my family and my man means alot more than that.
09/06/2011
Haha, I'll keep the good memories and take the money. I'd be too busy travelling for them to get to know me again.

Money is nice but nothing can replace my wife and my daughter. No amount.
09/06/2011
I'd take the money and help out all those around me who need it. I would explain before it happened to them for my own sanity haha. Then have memory swiped and start helping out.

Thats alot of money. But friendship and family is more important then money.
10/19/2011
I've actually found myself to be in that position. The person I loved didn't know who I was. Do you know what it does to a person when you find them again and they go "Sorry, this is very awkward.. are you sure you have the right person? I think you've mistaken me for someone else."
That stuff hurts. That's not worth any amount of money. I'll take that person, thank you.

Yes, and I'd only hesitate a little bit.
I've been trying to get away from my family and this town filled with people that know me from when I was little and know my family blah blah blah, for a very long time.

I'd take the money. I have often wished I could make people forget completely who I am since so many people have a very rigid view of who they think I "should" be. It would be nice to be able to reinvent myself in their eyes.
Also, due to major health issues (my mom has cancer and I am suffering from another major illness) we are both unable to work. We are both having serious money problems. Although we both work for the government our employer does not pay any social security or disability insurance for it's employees. We both have bought private disability insurance, but getting the money takes forever due to our employer taking forever to fill out the necessary paperwork. Anyhow, we are both in dire need of cash and a billion dollars would fix that. I could keep my mom healthier and well taken care of.
As for my hubby, I think he and I have such a bond that no matter when in our lives we would have met we would have still ended up together. I think if we were to meet again for the first time I could easily sway him in my favor

Fuck that....family comes first......
10/20/2011
No way. I could probably rebuild a relationship with my husband because he picked to be with me in the first place. If my mom didn't know she was my mom she might not actually like me. I'm not all that likable sometimes. My son is only three but I'd hate to lose the bonding we have shared in those three years. Losing them isn't worth ANY amount of money. Some days, my family is what gets me through the day alive. I can't ever say that about money (unless you count buying food or something).
10/20/2011
I am dirt fucking poor...and I could care less about people in my family forgetting me...but if my fiance were to forget me I would probably dye from sadness.
