Classic example of golden handcuffs. I think who’s really getting screwed here is the middle class, again.
The big variable in your cost calculation is the opportunity cost of lost wages. Early in your career it costs you little to get together with your friends and plan a heist for a year. If you find creative hacks to bring down the cost of equipment you might as well give it a try.
Similarly, the ultra rich just don’t have to worry about the opportunity cost at all.
But if you’re comfortably settled in your upper-middle-class corporate job, you simply have too much to lose. Even just watching Oceans Eleven costs you like $1000 in opportunity costs, and if you have to send 4 kids to private school in Connecticut, that’s not something you can afford.

Thank you @Torsten Walbaum I’m glad at least somebody clued into that.
Gone are the days when you can just walk in with a couple of weapons for a simple smash and grab job.
All this elaborate planning and training make it impossible for people with a steady income to dedicate the time needed for such an endeavor
This comfort and security are a prison of its own.
Tyler Durden said it best: “The Things you own, end up owning you.”
This is why the ultra rich need to do drastic things, just to feel something!
There's poetry in motion.,👏
Thank you thank you! Glad you liked it!!
Wonderful piece! Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it Paul!
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
Thanks for the mention Ben! 👏
Of course, you make great stuff. A bit more serious than articles like this.
But yours made me laugh, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked it.
Articles like these have enlightened me on the heist bracket concept. We refocused our crew strategy and found our niche in the 2-6m jobs.
Keeping up with professionals like you has raised my crews payouts per stint by nearly 20% this year which is a huge improvement for the families.

Oceans Eleven doesn't make the cut;
Heat
Thief
The Town
Those are fighting words young man!
