A millionaire doesn't even have his own private parking space? Sounds fishy :)

- pbnaidu 19y agoWhat if a millionaire lived in some other city and drove to New York City to get to the air port?

- kcl 19y agoParking spaces in NYC can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a mere millionaire you can expect to spend 10-20% of your net worth on a parking space. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/us/12parking.html?ex=1189915200&en=4d2b6f729a6fc216&ei=5070 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/us/12parking.html?ex=11899... NY may not be the best place in the world to start your startup, but it will certainly cause you to reevaluate your notion of what it means to be a millionaire. Less valuable, maybe, but also much more achievable.
- ereldon 19y agothe story has a good point, but the example is weak. if you're willing to pay for a ferrari, one would think you'd be willing to buy a regular parking spot for it. and why would you drive it to the airport in the first place if you're planning on going out of town for a couple weeks? why not get a ride from a millionaire friend in their ferrari? i'm not a millionaire, but it seems like being a good planner is at least as important as being a penny-pincher if you want to make serious money.
