    Back when we were painting our house, I disagreed with my wife about one of the colors.

    It’s a Victorian house. We were doing a Forest Green, and a mint green, and I wanted to include burgundy. However she chose plum.

    As soon as we saw it on the house, she realized the burgundy would have been better.

    We just lived with it.

    We’re about 10 years late for repainting, and the paint has faded so much the greens look blue. I don’t know when we’ll be able to do it again. The painter we used was very, very good, but if I correct for inflation, hiring him again today would cost over $40,000.
