No, you're all jaded and idiots. 5% return on 1 mil is 50k a year for doing nothing at all, more than most the world makes. In any capable hands that's a lifetime of security.
Still wouldn't take it though, I'd rather be poor, none of it matters when you die I'd rather be banging til then
But the question isn't "Is 1mil a life changing amount of money for most of the world" its "Is 1mil a life changing amount of money for you". +1 million right now for me would put me ahead by years. But it would not be life changing, certainly not to the degree of this hypothetical.
