Would you rather have 10k a month in passive income or $1,000,000

[Shiloh Lundahl]

I read a post on linkedIn from @Travis Watt, a fellow BP member, that posed the question, "Would you rather have 10k a month in passive income or $1,000,000?  I thought it was a great question and I think it merits a great discussion.  So I am posting it here hoping to get a lively discussion from this great group of investors.  

So what would you rather have?  10k in passive monthly cashflow or $1,000,000?  Please tell us why.
