Besides, with the market being the crooked sucker’s game that it is, you’ll probably do just as well investing in art as with stocks or bonds.
I once knew a guy who owned an original Louise Nevelson. He bought it around 30-odd years ago, when she was largely unknown, and happily watched it appreciate afterwards.
How many stocks go from $200 to an est. 30-40K in 30 years?
I’m ashamed of you. You had all that money, and it took you almost a whole year to get rid of it?
And, what did you do?
You went out and brought stuff with it. It wil be years and years before you get rid of all that stuff, won’t it?
You should have been much more prudent, like me.
I invested my money in the stock market, and I was able to get rid of it all much more quickly and without having to get all this stuff that you’re now saddled with.
I’m so much more efficient than you.

Um…it’s not really any of my business, and I don’t mean to give you a hard time, but since you’ve posted it for all of us to see I can’t help but think:
Jesus Christ, man, your ENTIRE INHERITANCE from your late father, and you just spent it?? In nine months??? It never occurred to you to maybe invest it and make it last a little longer than nine months? Don’t you feel the least bit…you know…dumb?
No. I have no faith in society. I don’t want to invest in it. If I’d put it into the stock market, I’d have lost half my money and wouldn’t have stuff. I used to live like a hand me down student, now I live comfortably. I don’t have a problem with that.
