What Would Americans Really Do for $1 Million? New Survey Reveals Shocking Truth
Americans would ditch love, betray friends and even risk their lives for a seven-figure payday, a new survey reveals. Over 40% would walk out on their romantic partner in a heartbeat for a cool million, according to a poll of 2,000 people by Gamblizard, a website that tracks and shares online casino deals. And plenty of Americans seem willing to risk their own skin, too. 4 Friendship, love and ethics all take a back seat when seven figures are on the table, according to a new survey on money and morals. New Africa – Nearly half, 46%, said they'd step right into a real-life 'Squid Game' — the Netflix hit where contestants face certain death — to pocket $33 million, just like the winner on the show. Even more chilling, four in ten Americans said they would gladly bankrupt a stranger to secure $33 million for themselves. Another 46 percent said they might consider it, depending on whose finances were at risk. Nearly 60% would ditch technology entirely and live off the grid, and forget Netflix and chill: 41% of Americans would completely swear off sex for that same million-dollar check, the survey found. An alarming 15% admitted they'd frame a friend for a crime they didn't commit to get their hands on that kind of cash. 4 The hit series 'Squid Game' pits desperate players in deadly games for money — and nearly half of Americans say they'd sign up in real life for $33 million. New Africa – But Americans do have priorities, with 10 percent saying they would reject the money if they couldn't share it, while 21% value social media access more than a million bucks. More than half would reject the cash if their parents controlled it, and 38% would hesitate if their enemy benefited too. The findings 'reveal more about human psychology than moral decay,' said Nina Mazar, behavioral scientist at Boston University's Questrom School of Business. 'While some people might never compromise their values regardless of the sum, others have thresholds — and the data suggests that as incentives rise, more people admit they'd waver.' But Carnegie Mellon University economics and psychology professor George Loewenstein thinks the issue runs deeper. 4 The survey suggests that when the stakes are high enough, even the most unthinkable choices start to seem tempting. New Africa – When money's tight, people are more willing to stretch their morals to make ends meet, he said. Some might laugh off these survey answers as just hypothetical fun, but Loewenstein warns the truth might be darker. 'Are these responses likely to reflect real behavior? They probably understate the actual fraction of people who would actually do these things if faced with the temptation,' said Loewenstein, who specializes in social and decision sciences. Ben Bradley, a philosophy professor and ethics expert at Syracuse University is worried about the nation's moral compass. 4 A shocking number of Americans say they'd dump their partners without hesitation if it meant walking away with a million-dollar check. New Africa – 'People often think they would act a certain way when confronted with a scenario, but are wrong,' he said. 'Framing a friend for murder is much more disturbing. A non-trivial number of people regard morality as a sucker's game.'

The 20 Best Countries For Digital Nomads, According To A New Report
Working remotely with a view: As more Americans go digital nomad, countries like Malaysia, Colombia and Hungary are emerging as top choices for 2025. getty Dreaming about working remotely from abroad? You're not alone. A growing number of Americans are planning to take their jobs on the road in 2025—and many are searching for the best countries for digital nomads, along with information on digital nomad visas and remote jobs. But where should you actually go? Gamblizard, a personal finance platform, has the answers in a new report. The company analyzed every country currently offering digital nomad visas to U.S. citizens—there are currently well over 60. It then and ranked the top 20 destinations based on factors like rent, healthcare, internet speed and the income required to qualify for a visa. According to Jamie Wall, the personal finance strategist at Gamblizard and the lead researcher behind the report, they did this report because it felt like a tipping point: U.S. searches for the term 'digital nomad' have jumped 254% this year, and studies show that one in four young Americans plan to go remote abroad in 2025. 'More young Americans are rejecting the idea of returning to offices and actively planning to live and work abroad,' Wall told me in an interview. 'We wanted to explore where they could do that well—live affordably, work remotely, and really get the most value out of that choice.' Coming in at the top of the list as the best country for digital nomads is Malaysia. 'Malaysia's mix of affordability, modern infrastructure, and accessibility makes it incredibly attractive for remote workers,' says Wall. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: The top-ranked destination for digital nomads in 2025, thanks to its affordability, infrastructure, and easy access to the rest of Southeast Asia. getty According to the report, rent is nearly 80% cheaper than in the U.S., healthcare is affordable (averaging just $458 per year) and many people speak English. Its main city, Kuala Lumpur, is particularly attractive for digital nomads—it's got fast internet, modern infrastructure and a major airport hub for weekend trips to nearby spots like Bali and Bangkok. Next up is Colombia, where you can qualify for a digital nomad visa on just $750 a month. Some of the top digital nomad cities include Medellín and Bogotá, which offer co-working spaces and thriving tech scenes. Hungary takes third place, thanks to strong infrastructure, quality healthcare and one of the cheapest rental markets in Europe. In fourth place is Brazil, which has low housing costs and an increasingly international remote work scene. Rounding out the top five is Romania, one of the most affordable countries in Europe, with fast Wi-Fi, low rent and many people speaking English—especially in major cities like Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca. Some of these top-ranking destinations don't appear on other traditional expat lists. 'One big surprise was how often Eastern European and Southeast Asian countries outperformed traditional expat hotspots,' says Wall. 'Portugal has long been a favorite, but it's now facing real pressure. Rents have spiked, and the minimum income required for a visa is relatively high. Meanwhile, countries like Romania and Hungary offer similar or better infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.' The rest of the top 10 list includes Thailand, Portugal, Turkey, Spain and South Korea—a mix of established favorites and rising stars that combine strong infrastructure with a relatively low cost of living. Digital Nomad Trends The report also reveals some things about the mindset of young people today and offers a larger cultural shift. 'This generation values freedom and autonomy,' says Wall. 'They're prioritizing experiences over possessions, and digital nomadism lets them see the world without stepping off the career ladder.' While destinations like Portugal and Spain still draw plenty of interest, the report suggests a shift in where Americans are actually looking—and that Americans are widening their lens. 'We expect more countries to invest in long-stay tourism and remote work infrastructure,' says Wall. 'In a way, this trend is democratizing global travel—it's pushing attention beyond the usual hotspots.' The report also highlights one surprisingly useful benchmark: the income required to qualify for a visa. While that number can vary widely, it often reflects the local cost of living. 'If a country only asks for $1,000 a month to qualify, chances are good you can live quite comfortably there,' says Wall. Read on for the 20 best countries for digital nomads in 2025.

These 4 zodiac signs are destined for good luck on the ‘Day of Miracles'
Place your bets, my babies — the luckiest day of the year is upon us. On June 24 at 11:16 a.m. ET, we will experience a once-a-year sun-Jupiter conjunction, also known as a cazimi. A cazimi is something of a solar amplifier/purifier, where the inherent energy of a planet is hyped and heightened by its proximity to the ever-loving sun. On Tuesday — the planet of growth, optimism and abundance — is getting a solar tongue kiss at 3° Cancer. This is the first Jupiter cazimi in this sign since 2013! Jupiter's joy ride through Cancer began on June 9th and will continue through next June, but this energy peaks on June 24. While we're all primed to receive on this day of miracles, four signs stand out as clear favorites during this dice rolling, sun-drenched, nectar-drunk transit. 'This rare conjunction blends visibility, positive energy, and expansion. Some signs will see a boost in money, confidence, and long-term goals,' said Ashley Boyd, astrologer at Gamblizard. Is your sign destined for amplified luck during Tuesday's 'Day of Miracles'? Read on to learn more. For Aries folk, Jupiter's transit hits your fourth house of home, roots and nostalgia, security and ancestral intrigue. 'That might sound quiet, but don't underestimate it. This is a chance to set up the kind of life you want in the long term. Real estate moves, family investments, or simply building stronger foundations for your money life — it's all on the table,' said Boyd. She recommends that the people of the ram think practically and act boldly, the latter coming more naturally than the former. 'If you've been putting off a decision around living arrangements or long-term finances, now's your window. Take the initiative, but make sure it's sustainable. Jupiter wants you to think long-term.' For Gemini, Jupiter's gravy train transit rolls through your second house of wealth and worth, coin and confidence. 'This isn't about overnight luck — it's about making your talents work for you in real ways. Whether it's more money, a new client, or a project that finally works out, you're in a great spot to grow what matters,' shared Boyd. She urges Geminis to be discerning; just because everything feels gloriously possible right now, it does not mean everything deserves a yes. 'Jupiter loves to expand, but your energy is limited. Focus on the one thing that brings the highest return. The more intention you bring, the more rewards you'll see.' Ahoy Cancer! The Sun and Jupiter are copulating in your first house of the self and core identity on June 24th. 'Confidence, attention, and positive energy are all flowing your way. If you've been holding back or second-guessing your value, it's time to let that go. You're not here to play small, especially when it comes to your goals, worth, or even how you approach money.' Boyd says crab folks should use this momentous energy to power up and ask for what they want. 'Negotiate better pay, launch something, or take a chance on a big idea. Just keep in mind: Jupiter expands everything, including doubt and distractions. Stay focused. You don't need to rush. Just keep showing up like you know you're meant to win.' As a Jupiter-ruled sign, Sagittarius will feel the effects of the transit and the power of the 'Day of Miracles' most acutely. 'It's hitting your 8th house — the zone of shared finances, investments and deep trust. Whether you're making a big move with someone else's money, negotiating a deal, or working through financial entanglements, this is your chance to take the lead.' Boyd notes that the energy is intensely rewarding but not without risk. 'Jupiter can overpromise, and you can overestimate. Trust your intuition, but bring in logic. Ask yourself: Is this smart or just exciting? If the foundation feels solid, go for it. This could be the start of something bigger.' Astrologer Reda Wigle researches and irreverently reports on planetary configurations and their effect on each zodiac sign.
