Believe me, it broke my heart to part with my 1955 Buick but I couldn't afford that old beauty AND my 1976 Cessna! Something had to give!
I had the same choice when my father passed away and I could inherit his sailboat, a 32' Columbia Sabre. He bought it when my mom was pregnant with me so I've literally been sailing since before I was born. But when I ran the numbers I quickly realized I couldn't afford
two mistresses. While *I* really enjoyed sailing the Sabre, it was built more for speed than comfort so it really wasn't a family machine like my current plane. Reluctantly, I sold it.
