But some day, if you are lucky, you will realize that sometimes your investments return enough in any given hour to go buy a new platinum F250 for cash and really not care for one second that it’s depreciating because in the next hour you can buy another.

Someday you might be really lucky to see that as I suspect some of these old boomer retirees are already able to do. And others as well.
My dad bought his 1st new truck in 1973, a Dodge with the extra "Club Cab", and I think it was about $2,200.00. So scratching a check for a new Super Duty in 2021 was painful.
