LOL. Who's to say that the OP hasn't done those things? I make very little money these days myself; I can afford to, because I enjoy living very modestly, and because I saved my money in the past- and I can even afford a few luxuries, like an expensive bike. Of all the people I know, I make the least money; but I'm the only one who owns their home free and clear, and who has zero debt. (Funny, either one of my bikes are much nicer than the bike of a friend who is worth millions...). I would generally agree with you, but you can be fooled if you don't know the whole story. Sometimes it's not about how much you earn, but what you do with it. Just saying...
I would loathe owning a bike shop.
Yeah, riding bikes is FUN.
Running a small retail business? Usually not so fun. Just because it sells bikes, doesn't make it any "funner"
