Yes I would accept, without any hesitation or second thought.
Wage based lifestyle is just slavery but with chains being your mortgage and the whip being your empty fridge. Everything beats that so 1 million as a bonus, count me in !
I would spend my time investing, so I could live off the interests (or gains) without touching the capital. With all that freed time, it won't be difficult. I will keep my lifestyle at a minimum so I could live off the capital anyway if investments don't bear fruits.
Freedom is overrated, only the financial side has sense in our current world. Without financial freedom, any other aspect of freedom is an illusion.
RE: Would you accept a $1 million gift on the condition that you could never be a wage earner again?
