    Read book by farmer who bought his farm in hungry thirties He always changed his equipment when it was a few years old - people said why do you change your tractors combines so often? Answer - because in another recession I can last ten years without buying equipment Me I change vehicles when repair cost per month > monthly finance cost on replacement
