Parking spaces in NYC can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a mere millionaire you can expect to spend 10-20% of your net worth on a parking space.

NY may not be the best place in the world to start your startup, but it will certainly cause you to reevaluate your notion of what it means to be a millionaire. Less valuable, maybe, but also much more achievable.

the story has a good point, but the example is weak.

if you're willing to pay for a ferrari, one would think you'd be willing to buy a regular parking spot for it.

and why would you drive it to the airport in the first place if you're planning on going out of town for a couple weeks? why not get a ride from a millionaire friend in their ferrari?

i'm not a millionaire, but it seems like being a good planner is at least as important as being a penny-pincher if you want to make serious money.

What if a millionaire lived in some other city and drove to New York City to get to the air port?
