Noo…it belongs to excess capital

 

[FrankCFA]

But the curriculum says fund the lifestyle goal belong to core capital?

Obviously a castle is not a normal cost of living.
Stop over complicating all the details with absurd examples.

KEY WORDS: MAINTAIN A GIVEN LIFESTYLE,
his lifestyle now doesnt include a castle, hence the goal to have a castle cannot be regarded as normal expense and this is not core capital.
