A Redditor is deliberating whether to accept a $1 million cash gift from his in-laws to help pay down a mortgage for a new home. Their financial situation is stable, with a high income and plans for a substantial home purchase. However, the offer comes with cultural implications, as the in-laws come from a background that fundamentally opposes debt. This creates tension, as the couple feels both grateful and uneasy about accepting such a significant amount of money from family.
