Luxury and safety is expensive.

Is that not Delayed long enough for you?

It also puts me in a position where I can "just write a check" for things I want::
Like a Ferrari,
Like another House,
Like another Merc.....

my apologies I did not intend to offend you. I can see why that may not have rested well when you read it. Please accept my sincerest apologies.
