Something that is quite cool about the future \\u2014 the trend towards non-ownership.

For example, I personally hate owning things. Why? The more things you own, the more liabilities you got, the more things you gotta maintain, worry about, etc. Even if I got a Lamborghini, I\\u2019m certain maintaining it would be a pain in the ass. $3,000 oil changes, and having to take it into the mechanic is wasted time for me. Also the stress of having some kids key it, or even the annoyance of car insurance payments, etc. So better to just rent a Lamborghini for a day or a weekend and stunt, than having to \\u2018own\\u2019 it and maintain it.

Similarly speaking, I have found with living scenarios, the \\u2018plug and play\\u2019 type of home is best. What does that mean? Getting an \\u2018all inclusive\\u2019 luxury condo/apartment in which the rent includes the super-fast wifi, heat, air conditioning, electricity, gas, trash, etc \\u2026 and you just gotta pay one \\u2018flat fee\\u2019 for a month. My last apartment was a huge pain in having to setup wifi (Verizon Fios), setup local electricity and gas. Better to just move into a place (ideally a long-stay term AirBnb) and just have everything already setup and ready for you to go (including furniture).

The future of cars?

Apparently Porsche [financial services] and now Hyundai and their new Ioniq 5 is doing this \\u2014 in which you just lease the car and pay one flat fee (includes the car, insurance, maintenance, etc). This is insanely convenient for me \\u2026 I would prefer just a month to month lease on cars, if ever needed.
