a small loan
A small loan is basically a million bucks from your dad, the kind of loan that makes your life easier, or just easier to ruin.
Dad loaned me a million. I spent it all on a pizza. He said, 'That's a good investment.'
Small loan: 1 million. Dad: 'I’m just helping you out.' Me: 'I’m just helping you lose money.'
Dad loaned me a million. I used it to pay my rent. Now I’m rich, or at least I feel like it.
