Option 1: Buy a Brewery

Not because I want anyone to be an alcoholic, I just want a better place than my garage for all my brewing equipment.

....I'd be rich.


Ok, not really, 1 million is hardly enough to survive on, however it's a good nest egg to start with. you should be able to clear $50,000 in interest (before taxes) in very safe modest investments, but when you don't have a job, that goes quick.

Heck if I hit the big lottery jackpot, (10 mill+ net) I'd still work for about 6 months while I got the windfall working for me. very little would actually be spent.

If you banked the whole million how much would you get in interest per year? My answer would be dependent upon this.
Define "banked". Throw it all into a checking account and the money is not going to do much.

If you are going to invest the money chances are it's not going to a bank.

With IRAs in:
Emerging markets ( like China and Brazil),
(nonrenewable) natural resources,
Alternative energy stocks.

You can pull 20% profit in a little over a year without much effort.

The same thing I do with my money currently. CRT for the bulk of it to avoid capital gains tax (Franklin Templeton, is an okay one, I've also dealt with TIAA CREF) and do something with the money once I'm gone that is worthwhile (American Cancer Society is my chosen charity for example), then depending on success rate of the brokerage accounts held within that investment move the interest money to treasury bills to maturity and gift however much to relatives I can to reduce my actual taxes, and cycle the money back into the CRT investments to do all over again the next year.

The truth is, a million USD isn't much money. I had nearly that a few years ago between my two CRT alone, and only a few unfortunate events in my life dropped me sub $400k in a matter of months. You could take a million, and then an additional loan to go with it and probably do something decent in life, but when it comes down to reality -- it probably won't last someone without experience in such affairs longer than 6-8 years.
