Dude, the whole point is that the car is such a nothing. But you repeatedly hold it up like it's a badge to show how successful you are. When it's literally the opposite. Only you and a few 13-year-old Andrew Tate fans think that.
So you've got something worth half a mil, which you apparently own outright? Sick, you're halfway to a deposit for a semi-decent commercial RE deal. Or you could put in the markets and draw down a sweet, sweet $20k/year
But obviously, you're clued up on all things finance, so that $500k car makes up ~2% of your net worth. Maybe slightly over 5% if you really want to push it and cling to the "business expense" card. So that lands you at around $10m-$25m, nothing to sneeze at. But honestly, that's still well below the bar to talk about how successful you are, something tells me you don't even know anyone in that bracket. If you did, you'd know how few feel successful, much less brag about it.
So that leads to what, (I'm genuinely concerned about) but makes the most sense - That $500k car makes up the bulk of, if not all, of your net worth - All jokes aside my dude, I really hope that's not the case and youre not actually that dumb.
I don't even want to make fun of you for that possibility because I know the sheer state of panic I'd be in if my assets dropped to half a mil. And that's with a solid appreciating asset, not a rapidly depreciating one like that car - Back to back calls from shareholders, banks, fucking potentially liquidators, then inevitably the IRD. So yea, that's not something I want to make fun someone for
So I assume you've got ~$5m elsewhere in productive assets. (Obviously, not counting your company, as I assume you've been in business long enough to know how dumb that is). I'm not sure how you earn money tbh, but I'm guessing you net $100k-$200k/month? - You still can't afford that car, but you only live once, so all power to you
Well we agree on something
You want to hear my douchebag claim to fame? A few years ago, I owned a Patek 5740. Ended up selling it for a killing and only really showed it to a handful of other watch dorks, but I admit I felt pretty cool wearing it.
