Don't have is pretty different from could not possibly afford though

Unless your company is extremely weird, I doubt that many layers of management could not afford a yacht if they wanted one

Then again, the bar for that is actually pretty low.

Source: My dad is a tool salesman, and also was the president of the local yacht club a couple of years ago. Actually thinking about it, that yacht club is surprisingly blue collar

I wouldn't ve surprised if white collar people hold off buying yachts unless they can also afford staff to pilot and manage them



Used plastic boats are a dime a dozen. I would bet almost everyone on this site could afford one if they wanted.

Moxie Marlinspike filmed a fun documentary about it, actually.
