That's a daft rule and doesn't work. For things like houses, classic cars, cruise holidays, speedboats etc. the kind of things a person with $1mil would be buying, you don't buy them "in person", it's all internet, phone, and contracts. Even before the internet you didn't "purchase the item in person", someone sent the contract to your accountant, you signed it, you make a phone call and you send it back, the keys are sent to you the next day...

OK, I've got it...
I call up the stock exchange and buy $1mil in shares in a stable company unlikely to drop any points, something like Apple Inc. and I wait until the time runs out. I then sell my shares in Apple Inc. and have the money again but without getting any debt.
