Quip from a friend from a (relatively) poor country: “Before I moved to the US, it would have seemed bizarre to me that someone could be rich enough to afford a car but not be able to afford a driver”.
- SilasX 5y agoReminds me of another discussion where some of us were confused about someone retrofitting child seats in a Ferrari: how would you be rich enough to afford a Ferrari as a toy/show-off car, but not also have a normal, functional car for when you need to drive the child around (or a chauffer)? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24762683 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24762683
- lagadu 5y agoI was in that situation. My only car was a two-seat convertible lovely car but at some point when I got good at surfing I needed a way to transport my board from my house to the beach (about 5km). I decided to sell my car and buy a larger luxury one that could carry my board and still be enjoyable to be in. Obviously I could afford to get a second, cheap, car to do that but the hassle of having two cars just wasn't worth the trouble for me. It's the same for your example I suspect: if you can do it in a single car, that's often the option with the least amount of hassle.
