Count the cost...and frequency

I am in the middle of a renovation project that I have been planning to do for about 5 years. My project manager is so enthusiastic and passionate about the project - which I like - but he's moving the work faster than I have money to pay for it :)

We had a tough (for me) discussion today. We have reached the point where my budget expires and everything from this point would hurt my pocket. At this rate, I may not be able to furnish the place for another century!!!

After I got off the phone, my mind went to the verse in the bible about a builder counting the cost before he starts. I would like to highlight that he needs to put into account the frequency vs availability of the resources needed to build the house.

It's not always in life that we have everything we need to do all we want to do but it is important to start...and pace yourself. Sooner than later, every step will add up and you will enjoy the fruit of your labour...eventually.
