The problem with this an other list and spreadsheet types of decision making
tools is that they are no good unless you first do the Hamlet Mediation
("This
above all, to thine own self be true.") Else it just becomes a mechanism in
justification rather than objective decision making.

How many people do you know who talked (or tried to talk) their spouse into
letting them buy a motorcyle because it would save gas?? Right, the savings
in
gas would offset the cost of the motorcyle in, oh, about 800 years.

If you are thinking about bying a tractor, first clear you mind and get in
touch with that part of you which can admit, if it is so, that you are going
to
buy a tractor no matter how the list or spreadsheet turns out.

Else the exercise becomes one of justification rather than decision making.
