My home loan is less than that and it already hurts to pay every month. With a second big loan, I'd have to declare bankruptcy.

Now if this is a gift of free money - I'd pay off that damn home loan so it's one less thing to worry about. Remaining balance on the $1M would probably get invested in the hopes that I could push forward my retirement by a couple of decades.

    The meme "small loan of $1M," back in the early 70s, would be around $9M today, with inflation, on excellent "Daddy's money" terms. Nevermind the subsequent supplemental "loans". Easily enough to push your retirement forward to Thursday.
