    #5 to invest immediately and #4 to afford 2-3 and 6-7 over time, without noticing the draw on my account. With decent yeilds on investments, I’ll be getting lots of things for “free”. Swapping bodies with a celebrity is creepy, no thanks. Marriage? Never again.

      You’re seriously underestimating the potential value of 7, definitely pick that instead of 5.

      The most expensive car ever sold was a 1955 Mercedes Benz coming in at around $140 million.

            Where the heck would I store five cars worth millions of dollars.

            How the hell would I find a buyer who would reliably pay me those millions of dollars without ripping me off or stealing it before I could sell it.

            I live in Canada. Those cars would disintegrate before I got them to somewhere capable of storing them.

            I would much rather have $20 million now in my account. Even in cash would be manageable.

              In both situations you hire somebody to deal with that for you. I know just as much about car storage and art insurance as I am with dealing with millions in cash. Investing would be amazing but I’d also somehow screw myself with taxes.

                Yeah, I also am not confident in my ability to find asd hire a competent person to manage the cars, or the money for that matter.

                The 20 million doesn’t even have to be invested until one can look into tax implications because it can just sit still in an account or under a bed; not so much for the cars.

      This is the real answer. But eventually loneliness will get the better of you.

      I take this as one of those monkey paw situations although I suppose it doesn’t say anything about not having significant others.
