Hello brother from a different mother. Luckily, I sold some of high-priced domains a while back. So far, in my 15+ years of the cost of buying domains have yet to cross the amount that I sold them for. That keeps me going and I feel happy. Of course, I have also let domains expire just to realize that the registrar is re-selling them for high single-digit thousands of dollars.

And, I bought my last domain less than 10-days back. Built a landing but left it to research further and talk to customers. :-)
