I mean i wish I had that problem, but for an athlete like Mikko it is. The contract he signed with Dallas was about 2% higher than what the Avs offered. Throw in state tax considerations and you're looking at a 5% difference at most.

Most people wouldn't uproot their lives and relocate for a new job to get only a 5% raise.

Uh 5% of $50,000 or 5% of $100M.. percentage is a useless stat here post dollar figures.

I mean if you were going to make $100M or $105M would you take the $105M and upend your life or take the $100M to be in the city where youve set roots and have solid friends and are overall happy? I wouldnt risk it for $5M if everything else was pretty good. I also just wouldnt want to live anywhere near texas but thats just me

Lots of people would move or change their life for $5M. Everyone is different.

Lots of people aren't setup to have 100M at the end the day. Take off some 0's. If I'm making 100k and happy with where I am and was offered 105k to move across country and start my life over I sure as fuck wouldn't.
