I don't know where you are coming up with these numbers. My car was close to invoice and I got the buy rate on the MF. It's just math. I am definitely a fool based on your criteria and I have no desire to stop being foolish. What is actually foolish is to fail to take into account an individual's priorities and income/wealth. I don't begrudge someone buying a $52 million yacht and then paying salaries to staff and to supply it if they are at that wealth level. I can't afford that but it doesn't make that person foolish, a priori.
