About 5 years ago, I made up a list of equipment, tools and stuff I would need when we built our retirement home on some acreage we bought over 10 years ago. The idea was to spread the cost over the years. List included tractor, box blade, utility vehicle, etc. I prioritized it by quarter and year (Q1,2010, etc) thinking about what I could use more immediately and what could wait until we moved there. I haven't followed it exactly, but when I buy something, I cross it off the list.
Anyway, last week I bought a 3 pt Post hole digger at an auction on June 30th. Pulled up the list and there it was: "Q2,2015: Post Hole Digger". Well 6-30 IS the end of the second quarter AND my wife's birthday! I was all excited and showed her the list saying "Now, THAT'S Planning. Plus, it can count as a BD present, too!" There was a long silence and I think I'm lucky that I had already sub-contracted her BD purchases to my daughters who had already given them to her.
Is it just me or do others have wives that could care less about any longer range planning than what's for dinner?
