but then again, I don't think anyone can have any kind of self-restraint if they suddenly get 1M in the bank.
You're forgetting tax, and more importantly, inflation... a 2% interest rate will probably not be enough to keep the value of your capital consistent over time.

Less of a concern if you don't plan to die with the equivalent of $1m in the bank though...
