I just have it because it's in a retirement account that I'm supposed to have.

If I think it's 50/50 chance that stock market survives and we don't have to relocate to another country/planet.

So I allow myself 50/50 in old and new system. And the 50% in the old system is in an account I was supposed to have anyway for retirement.

I was thinking about this earlier how every stock is a gamble at the end of the day

Even choosing Bitcoin over gold or property is a sort of gamble.

Call options on Microstrategy is adding unnecessary risk reward on the gamble.

I drive an old car and frequently take the bus so somewhere along the line I feel like I can afford a sleek fast call option or 2.

But ultimately like Mr. Toad and his fast cars, it might result in a wild ride, a wrecked portfolio and dressing up as a "washer woman" to sneak on the train to get back home.

I'm guessing the lesson of this story is, if you look like you work somewhere, no one will mind you being there. I should probably get some life skills like house keeping so I can sneak into hotels. If it all goes to pot.

Solid points

Like Mr Toad, I do love my fast cars, I drive a Z4E85 (cost me 2k...shhhh don't tell anyone). I don't think I will ever trade it in for a Lambo, I like to get all the benefits without the down sides. Driving a Lambo has its down sides. 🙃

So all I need now is a good variety of uniforms and I'm all set 🙊.

Yeah having balance is important ⚖️ 💯

You must be a minimalist to fit your travel stuff into a 2 seater!

You be surprised, it's a decent sized boot, can squeeze a big suitcase or 2 small cases. Minimalist suits me perfectly. Keeps me grounded. 👌

Keeps your potential partner grounded too 😀 and no pet! Unless it's small

Ive always wanted a dog, but a pet is hard if travelling around, maybe once I've picked a location outside of UK. Currently looking at different countries to set up a new home in.

As for a partner, I would need to find a girl that doesn't need too much space for shoes, all my past girlfriends have been shoe crazy! 👠👠👠 Women 🤷‍♂️
