For me it would be. The Lambo is a gas guzzler and I can't imagine the heating and cooling bills of the castle, let alone the cleaning supplies to keep it clean. In my values, I would consider the upkeep costs better used in helping others and flipping these items to down-sized and economical options.RZehr wrote:Just to ostentatious to keep?

Does that change your decision?
Personally I would explore the possibility of "flipping" the castle and Lambo by reselling, then purchasing something more modest and donating the extra profit to a church charity. But then that's just me.
Now if I had 20 children, 80+ grandchildren and my parents and in-laws living with me I might consider the castle but they would have to help with the HVAC costs.
