I make quite a bit of money. My wife does as well. We live in a nice house. Our son never goes hungry. Blah Blah Blah - It's your basic Ameican dream scenario.

However, I just realized that I clearly do not have enough money as I can't afford to have something like this made for me...

I can't even afford to drive my truck to work. So no, I can't afford that ridiculous boat.

Good. Imagine the world resources it would take for everyone to have a yacht like that.

He'll probably be telling all of us about the need to conserve energy as well. I'll bet the supercharged turbodiesels in that thing are the latest and greatest, getting 7mpg instead of 5mpg. He's doing his part...are you??

Indeed.

We were talking about this re charter fishing, and you can have a comfortable lifetime of almost monthly excellent charters for a half decent boat and upkeep/trailer etc...

Even with your powerball you probably wouldn't be able to afford it either.

Most people never have enough money. Even Warren Buffet for years never had enough money. Only now with his new woman, has he finally been convinced that he can give some of it away.

The key is to find satisfaction not from what you want, but from what you have.

This isn't $50 million lump sumafter tax territory, this is billionaire territory.

Indeed, new custom 50foot boats run into 1.5-2 million.

Something 160 feet long like this involves from the bottom up custom design, special materials etc etc.

That boat is 50 mill alone.. atleast.

Everyone has their passions.

Horses can be quite profitable too if you know what you're doing.

Boats definately are a money pit though.
