See, I've been doing things in the wrong order. I knew there was something wacky about my original method:

-- Buy lotsa cars.
[drive and sell those same lotsa cars at a serious loss]
-- Make millions
[pay taxes, cover education and other misc living expenses]
-- Pave garage floor.

Thanks to 1b above, there aren't many cars left.
Thanks to 2b above, there's barely enough play money left for 3.

I spent the morning yesterday at the financial planner's office, where I was again informed that it "would be a good idea to work another couple years" before considering another full retirement. For a while retirement was fun, but it got boring. Now it's just beyond the fingertips again, especially if I want to have new porcelain tile on the garage floor att the hillside casa. Tile before or after the lift is set? How much longer will I have to work for that?

 

What are those round things hanging on the walls?
