re: What would you do with $1,000,000?

for a house rather than take out a mortgage at low interest rates and invest the rest at a higher yield than the mortgage rate?

I was thinking the same thing, with interest rates so low I wouldn't pay off a house, or even a car.

At 34 I'd max out the Roth every year, take a ridiculous vacation, use up to about $5k to buy something I've always wanted (oled tv perhaps ). I'd set about $50-75k aside and keep as cash for emergency fund. The rest would be invested conservatively in index funds and blue chips.
