What's the smallest amount of money you'd need to get to flee the country? (lemmy.world)

So imagine this:

you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish

Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it

Yeah, I said generic not do this exactly. It's a rough idea, not a game plan. You would need a lot of logistical things like cash on hand without using a bank to cash out. I know guys with boats that can't pay their rent so I am not so sure about the pauper with a boat angle but you could easily do it by disappearing in a national park if that's your jam. The main thing though no matter how you do it is you never ever ever ever ever ever go back to your old life in any way. Money in the bank, or long lost girlfriend, mom dies nothing.
