We Bought Our “Forever” Piano – A Bösendorfer 230VC with Enspire Disklavier Pro and a Custom Interior Macassar Ebony Wood Inlay

Making Money, Music, My Day In PicturesLeave a comment

I could hardly sleep Friday night because of excitement. It felt like Christmas as a kid, when all that joy, happiness, and anticipation are bundled together. Only much, much greater. Imagine you had been waiting on Christmas to arrive for more than thirty years.

Many of you watched me put off this purchase for decades as I prioritized investing over consumption, but it is now here: Aaron and I finally settled on our “forever” piano. We purchased a Bösendorfer 230VC model with the Enspire Disklavier Pro add-on and a custom-inlaid Macassar ebony wood around the soundboard. It is being manufactured near Vienna, Austria for us and should arrive in the next year.

When we were originally furnishing our Missouri house, I came across a desk that I wanted to buy. However, I decided to invest the money, instead.

We are making progress everywhere, companies across multiple sectors in corporate America are doing great, we’re starting to really cook some amazing food, again, I have begun taking advantage of the collapse in furniture prices, and, yes, the second installment of Final Fantasy VII’s remake was released.
