It is worth it, and I am only half-way there...
It is another dimension of freedom - literally. Another world opens up to you... For instance, my sales partner and I are going to take some hard-to-crack clients to Catalina for lunch...

Imagine being able to do something like this on a whim, and with your family and friends...
