How do you guys decide on “big purchases”?
Do you weigh up pros and cons and plan properly? Or do you just go “screw it” and take the plunge when a whim hits?

I don’t decide on those things because I can’t afford those things. Biggest purchase in my life so far was my old car back in 2012. It was the newest car I ever owned at that time and was necessary because I wanted a safe car for my new born and the old one started to grow mold and shrooms inside. At the time selling price of the car was 12.000€. That is as big as a purchase I have ever done.

Coincidently next week we (family and I) will be looking at a possible house to buy. It has some caveats including the house sitting on a property with hereditary building right attached to it. So we basically buy the house and rent the property it’s sitting on. Not uncommon here but feels weird. Still: it’s within the range I could be able to afford buying and (best of it all) it’s within walking distance to our current flat.

I’ve tried One Hour Skirmish Wargames and find the system works really well for solo games – just deal out the cards, and do as they tell you! Quick and easy. The “red is dead” is a nice touch.

Had a quick look-see on the amazon preview and was sad to see that it’s mostly settings I don’t really care about.

Wednesday. Still dark outside. Grabbing coffee now.
