    Would love to own a yacht but only if I had enough money to pay people to do maintenance. Owning even a much smaller boat is fucking annoying.

      The real cost of a boat is like 90% maintenance costs. It’s just a money pit, honestly.

      The better use of obscene riches is to charter a yacht that has a full crew when you want to go out. Otherwise, you’re just burning cash.

        If I ever get rich enough to buy boats, they’ll mostly be jet skis. Fairly inexpensive (for a boat) and tons of fun

        It’s actually really affordable to do that for your birthday or whatever. In Mexico you can rent a nice boat for a few hundred dollars for the afternoon. What are you actually going to do with a boat besides use it on vacation?
