I don't understand why everyone thinks that these investments have to pay for themselves. Isn't the enjoyment enough? Does a corvette pay for itself? No, but many indulgent people could still be heard saying "Is this going to pay for itself?" Maybe it will, maybe it will be a close call, but we know one thing for sure, a Hummer or a Jet Boat or a house that's too big, or my favorite--a nice lawn, will NEVER pay for themselves.

We have to squash this conditioned stigma that every investment that's not flashy has to "payoff".
