Someone who owns $1 million is maybe like 5 years away from complete bankruptcy if they drop $200k to purchase a boat.

There is a reason people say that boats are "a hole in the water to throw your money into". They cost a literal fortune to maintain.

Nobody with "just" $1 million can afford to buy and maintain a $200,000 boat.

    You can if the boat is also your home. That's what I meant when I said I could buy one if I were really motivated.

    But yeah, you're right, anybody with $1 million who buys a $200,000 boat as a toy is bad with money.
