For many years I have used a "sleep at night" test prior to entering into a major financial or otherwise serious transaction. I actually pretend I have made the decision and am living with it. I give it at least a few days to see how much "buyer's remorse" and other anxieties, if any, I develop. This has worked well for me when I have had some time to consider a big decision.

I have owned two homes 800 miles apart for 22 years now. One is for business reasons. Things inevitably go wrong at one while I am at the other. Fortunately I have people who check things out but it is still a hassle and a worry. Most of the time I am in each during a month but occasionally I am not in one for two to three months.
