Beau is using that same logic (delay until next year when more people are desperate to sell) to buy a better chainsaw than his current model. I’m looking for a used Honda UTV. Already bought a used 2021 F150 truck through a private deal last year. (Saved $15K off list price!) ;)
He’s also been taking on extra pasture-mowing jobs this Fall for cash, which will pay for remodeling we’re doing in the barn and upcoming beef and pork processing.
My Great-Grandparents used the same logic during The Great Depression. My Great-Grandma was as thrifty as they came, so they were sitting on a lot of cash when the Depression hit. She was able to buy entire HOMES, complete with appliances and furniture and artwork during that time and kept some in the family and sold some off piecemeal. Some of those ‘antiques’ now belong to me. ;)
And THIS, Kids, is why I’m always harping about positive cash flow and being DEBT FREE.
Thanks for the ping!
I’m thinking people can’t fooled when prices in stores keep rising. Even liberals have to notice
I am living on my investments and am getting KILLED in the market.
Fortunately, I have enough to ride this wave for quote some time and my advisor says it should whipsaw back next year.
