When you build a large enough portfolio of money producing assets (CDs, dividends, business payments) then you can actually live without working and still grow your wealth. Unless you are a professional trader I don’t see how a Ferrari is part of an investment strategy. What is insurance costs on something like this? Where does a normal person drive something like this in a northern city where massive potholes are the norm?

I know too many that lived like misers and then died early and did nothing but leave a pile for someone else to spend. Not that I’m going to be reckless but I will enjoy what I make.

Insurance was around $150 a month with a clean record.
I don’t know what you mean by “normal” people or what that has anything to do with roads in the north. Maybe log on to Ferrarichat.com and ask someone who owns a Ferrari there.

Nobody said a Ferrari was an investment strategy. But people poopoo it as frivolous and a waste of money when that isn’t necessarily the case. I’m not a professional trader (as you state above) yet somehow I managed to enjoy Ferrari ownership for three years and end up better off financially than I would have had I not bought the car. I certainly didn’t flush 6 figures down the toilet as some of the nay-sayers would like to believe.

As far as indulgences go, a used Ferrari is not absurd. The biggest cost in most states is the sales tax.

2. Accurate. (and she's older than I am...with a bloody pension of her own. "The fairer sex" vs. "The patriarchy" - I choose the FS- apparently an option now; alas, not quite willing to transition.)

(Have CD's, do ladder, older I get the more I'm convinced that real estate is only investment worth a darn. With the exception of "people who chose to live outdoors", everyone needs a place to live)
