Do It! I dare ya! Besides, I'm sure that long suffering "saint" you live with deserves it.
LOL, I read the article and I don't know if that's something I'd want to do, even if I was in a position to do so. Basically, he bought a "condo" on a cruise ship for $4M. Sure, you can look at it like real estate, but is it really? Obviously it's a very exclusive market, but I wonder just how large that market actually is. My guess is either he (or his heirs) gets really lucky and finds another buyer, or they will end up having to sell it back to Storylines at a hefty discount. For someone who's being described as a successful businessman, that doesn't sound like a wise decision to me.
Not that it matters to him. It sounds like he's flush enough to afford it. In addition to the $4M buy-in, the article states he also has to pay $132k per year, which is, in effect, cruise fare. No worries though, for according to him that's close to what they already spend each year for vacations anyway!!!!.
Color me suspicious. This article isn't passing my smell test. If it's true, then good on him, but I don't know......
