Affordable

 

I love that word, 'affordable'.  It reminds me of Steven Wright's remark (one-liner, really) that "everywhere is 'walking distance' if you have the time".

I was researching oceangoing catamarans for a short story I was writing, so YouTube naturally automatically subscribed me to The Catamaran Channel.  Isn't modern technology wonderful?  So, what do I find the next time I open YouTube?  A video for Silent Yachts' new e-55, an all-electric, solar-powered, 55-foot catamaran.  55 feet is absolutely 'oceangoing', and it's affordable!

But what does that mean, actually, 'affordable'?

In this case, it means €1.4M, or $1.6M.

Or, as Steven Wright would have said: "everything's affordable if you have the money".
