No no, no setup... I wouldnt use those terms pejoratively towards you if they were your goal :) .
So in short i'm understaning the goal is to "throw away the money" and get something you see as absurdly excellent? (i'm guessing that's what you mean by impractical, other wise why not get 1M goats for example (IMO that'd be very impractical)
Anyways, thanks for having the discussion with me :)
- mikestew 3y agoMy apologies for misjudging your motivation. I was a gold medalist in the Conclusion Jump in 2012. But, yes, throwaway money gets spent on things I might not otherwise buy. A Tesla is Just Another Car, nothing special. I have one of those already, just in Hyundai form, don’t need another one. Hence the Ferrari with all its impracticality. Back to the original post I replied to: the money I made on TSLA wasn’t “free”, it represents opportunity cost if nothing else (I could’ve purchased the car I really wanted instead). And hence no Tesla for me. But if I had purchased 10x of those early Tesla shares…I’d still buy the Ferrari, and get groceries in the Hyundai. :-)
