Indeed.  If I put my mind to being a thorough hedonist, I could find 
ways to spend a rather substantial amount of money very quickly.  If I 
set no limits on my frivolity, I could probably spend the entire Saudi 
royal treasury in not too much time.

Although, after that I probably still wouldn't be anywhere near broke, 
since some of the stuff I had bought would probably make me money in the 
long run.
