This. I’ve been sailing for close to 50 years. 25 of them owning my own boats. Buying and selling, slip fees, diver, boatyard bills, taxes, new sails, insurance, fixing stuff that breaks, depreciation, the opportunity cost of the money tied up in boats, it adds up. If I’d never bought any boats and just banked the money, I’d easily have an extra $500K. BOAT = Break Out Another Thousand.
Bikes are not bad at all.
