The older I get the more I come to realize that Dan Jenkins wisdom about aircraft, watercraft and similar financial shackles was spot on.

Having a good business relationship with Penske takes quite a bit of pressure off when you're shopping for a used box truck if you catch my drift.

Try as I might, I honestly cannot catch your drift on this one.

Can you restate this with a non-car analogy?

Yup, that's it.

I thought it was a Dan Jenkins quote.

I do think 'pay for play' will become more common among younger men (20s/30s as opposed to stereotypically older men) as fewer men get married/have children, still not legal in Canada or the US though. I think with the rise of sexless young men, and decreasing interest in marriage/kids, pay for play could sound like an increasingly attractive option for a lot of young men to get some intimacy.

It’s also convenient, especially for men that regard themselves as part of the MGTOW movement.

Just the fun without any of the shackles. Keep more time available for your own hobbies and interests.

If I’d ever separate from my current girlfriend, I would probably stick with ‘pay for play’ and not bother looking for a new girlfriend.
