A lot of it has always been cost prohibitive at a certain level. I am a pretty liberal borrower of money and I can't ever remember feeling like I have too much borrowing capacity not being used. Lol. It really boils down to how strategic it is for the cost. You also brought up a great point, turning salvage into infrastructure for pennies on the dollar. That is how my liquid storage started off and continues actually. The containment was new materials and construction but came after the tanks had been used for awhile and the value had been presented and the containment was more of an insurance policy of not losing valuable fertilizer as it was anything. It was also a handy place to attach the salvage 3" manifolds, valves and pump that several $20 bills bought.

I have so many regrets but some of those are still positives. Regrets I didn't do it sooner but so glad I still did it when I did. So, it is never too late to do the things that make sense if they still make sense. For instance, buying inputs, machinery and such ahead of time. Increased interest rates skews that a bit but can still make sense if it was cheap enough or the price or availability risk is high.

My basic theme however is do things for yourself so that you aren't constantly whip sawed by outside forces and then decend into blaming everyone else for your problems like I see some on here doing.
