    a million would eliminate my need to worry about next month’s rent and let me sit down and properly create stuff without worry for a few years (more like a decade, but I’d want plenty of buffer room). Sure, it’s easy to waste a milion and it won’t fix all my demons. But it’d take most of my stressors away instantly.

      The problem is if you get a million bucks, and everybody else gets a million bucks, demand for goods and services would skyrocket, taking prices with it. Essentially everything would get more expensive. Your rent would go up. A lot. Now, if only you got a million bucks, then, yeah, everything you said would apply, but while that would fix your problems, everyone else would be left in the lurch.
