"own a sailboat and have no money" that's a redundant statement :]

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think that would be antithetical, or paradoxical. Redundant means superfluous (=more than is necessary)

See the common conception of boat owners is that they're rich. And they certainly might start out that way. But a boat is a hole in the ocean into which money is thrown, and thus boat owners quickly become not rich

I've heard that boat owners are happy on two days. The day they buy it, and the day they sell it.
