Yeah but like… what if my dream isn’t to own an overpriced done up apartment in the middle of a noisy polluted city around millions of other people where you sit in traffic just to get anywhere?
If you can afford 1.6million for a NYC apartment, you can afford 1.3million and upkeep for a castle. People don’t buy luxury NYC apartments to live in. They buy them to peacock to other rich people. At least if you have a castle, you’re creative with your peacocking.
Cool, you can have a leaky, rotting pile of stone in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, or a swanky apartment right in the middle of NYC.
Buying the castle would only be the start.
I’m taking the castle. Way more fun.
What do you want with 1200 square foot (everything but metric) and only 1.5 baths?

If you live in the middle of NYC, you’re not getting stuck in traffic because you’re not driving.
Yeah, you’re walking and carrying all your shit with you instead. In the heat, and rain, and snow, and wind. That’s so much better.
You do you, but buying something like that castle would be like buying a boat.
The purchase price is just the start.
