I have owned every exotic toy I’ve ever lusted after. Until I didn’t want to own them any more, as they end up owning you. So I sold them. I have traveled the entire world. Until I really don’t care to see anymore. I’ve owned big expensive houses, that I didn’t enjoy. So I downsized. I had high maintenance girl friends, that didn’t take long to tire of.
But one thing stays with me.
One million is essential, two million your safe, and anything over five million doesn’t matter.
What I wanted to avoid was being in my 50s and unemployed. If it were to happen, I needed to know I was safe. A friend who missed the boat is doing his sentence at WOW, or as he calls it AAAAAARRRRGH. Now I know I’m safe, and I’ve done everything I ever wanted to do. For the rest of my life, I’ll have enough to do what ever pleases me.

It was this ‘save first’ point I was trying to get across. Not prove what a clever boy I am. For if I was the financial genius in my early days, I wouldn’t still be pushing tin around at my age.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with exotic cars. But you can’t use them as they are intended on British roads. We all like looking at them. Even if you can fit in the bloody things. They serve no purpose other than ‘look at me’. Which I find rather vain. The Kings Road sad prats is refering to the Dubai set, who aren’t car enthusiasts at all, but lost souls.
