I saved 300k, 100k in each of my kids college accounts. I want to buy a motorcycle. My wife is trying to make me feel like we can’t afford it. I’m not sure if this is financial motivated as it is safety. Anyone have experience talking the wife into a motorcycle?

🤷‍♂️ it's not "safe", you're not going to convince her it is. You're like 30x more likely to be injured/killed and nothing to do with your skill but rather the lack thereof of others on the road.

The worry it will continuously cause your wife (and 3 kids) will outweigh the fun it brings you. Not worth the argument if she’s not comfortable.

As a father of 2 and long retired sportbike rider, it is wholly irresponsible for you to get a motorcycle, and to leverage a college fund is the cherry on top of your f-my family sundae.

Get a convertible.

There’s a reason they call motorcycle riders “organ donors”

That’s probably what she means
