Most over analyser folks have been programmed from early childhood that making a mistake is absolutely not acceptable.............and that program has been running much of their lives.

I was once married to an accountant who was the complete opposite ... very risky.
Problem was that he saw his clients, who had taken a risky gamble early in their careers (10-20 years previoius), or had innovative ideas, now making lots of money and prestige ... his problem was that he wanted the money and prestige now - so took stupid financial risks and like to spend money we didn't have.
But I know that was from his upbringing ... and I blame his money hungry, never good enough mother.
From my point of view, I can't understand how anyone can make a decision without a spreadsheet
do u have a life partner ?

Though i agree that i use spreadsheet extensively to compare and evaluate opportunities and investments, i will have to say that my final decision is based on gut feel alone...
Example - I just had evaluated a very good deal and on spreadsheet it was the best i ever have(maybe sign of times now compared to last 7-8 years) but in the end i couldn't convince myself to go ahead with it...just didnt feel confident about the IP and the suburb itself...just my gut feel.
I have also noticed that as i have purchased more and more i have become very conservative compared to earlier times. Partly family pressures of not over extending, partly the uncertain economic times as well....
Oh I know! I am sick of hearing about the financial apocalypse.
Off topic: Speaking of financial apocalypse. I got into a "Jesus cab" once. He would not stop preaching to me and how Jesus is coming and you are either with him or you will suffer. Lots of suffering is coming to people soon because of global warming and how the global financial market is collapsing. I could not run out of that cab fast enough.
Or if they are from the current generation- they can do no wrong and ANYTHING is acceptable. So analysis paralysis shouldn't be a problem soon.
I know where this is going.. no I didn't have any spreadsheet calculation before marring herdo u have a life partner ?

Interestingly, she got used to my spreadsheets and expecting one for anything which needs organising!

I did have cash flow scenarios before having each kid. Each kid has a spreadsheet for their name selection process (numerology).
My husband created a spreadsheet on sleeping and feeding routines before our first was born. This time around he has just bought a magnetic whiteboard for the fridge and records feeding times on a daily basis, realising that projections cannot be planned for a newborn. He also created spreadsheets for our wedding planning.
He did create a spreadsheet to determine cash flow before purchase but not in terms of other potential suitabilities of a property. I doubt we would have as many properties if I allowed the spreadsheets to swell past the financial aspects.
I have a friend who is now considering buying the house she missed out on six years ago due to procrastination. It is for sale again. She told me about it a few days ago. Six years ago I discussed the pros and cons and tried to help her make a decision. This time, I just said "that is interesting".
She's been toying with moving for at least six years. It took her probably five years to make the move before that and the one before that. I try not to get involved any more.
