    Yes, that’s why it’s a wealth redistribution method. You have to employ people just to be able to live in your castle comfortably. And then pay taxes on those people’s salaries.

    Farming isn’t super profitable unless very large scale and I doubt most castles are being sold or given away with huge amounts of arable land. If they are, that’s going to be part of the price.

    It’s basically never a good deal financially to live in a castle. It’s something you do for your ego alone lol

      That’s why I said this:

      Yet another nice thing that’s reserved only for the rich…

      The rest was intended to be tongue-in-cheek

      I disagree. Someone might live in a castle because they think it’s awesome. That doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with ego
