Soon ^^
At 130k (just a smidge over a bitcoin) you CAN buy a Baron 58....
Granted the engines are going to need a replacement in a few hundred hours, but enough time to figure out if you like it.
Just remember, you may look at it one day with the same mix of feelings I get when I look at my $60,000 Wii U....
With these kinds of vehicles, the owner usually feels immensely happy exactly two times: the time they buy them, and the time they sell them. In between, they tend to be huge stress-inducing money drains.
Much like a boat proper maintenance is brutal.
Yes, exactly. IMHO, these kinds of vehicles (private aircraft, yachts, etc.) require a stable multi-million or even billion-dollar wealth status. Single/double-digit millions won't be enough to properly maintain and enjoy them, and they can become more of a burden than a source of pleasure. There are different levels of Fuck-You status, and the "fuck" part can turn on you if you're not careful.
The low end of both "boats" (yachts are in a huge different category and orders of magnitude more expensive) and "planes" (ie a 4 seats Cessna) are reasonably affordable.
I mean, both are affordable enough to buy buy and maintain for someone with barely millionaire status and not much above average sustainable income... IF those are their main hobbies/expenses.
It just gets exponentially more expensive as soon as you start going more meters or more seats... but I don't think someone less than deca would even dare to consider having a private JET or a PROPER yacht...
