> Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. Some of us are rejecting the boomer bounce the check for the funeral ethos in favor of passing something on. Much as the overwhelming majority of our ancestors did, we have a very real hope that it will be our descendants who live in our houses and benefit from what we built during our lives. The related concept of the Buxton Index (BI) is worth pondering. In short, it’s your planning horizon. So a frontend dev might have a BI of 1-2 sprints, a US president might have one of 4-8 years, and so on. Needless to say all of the wealthiest families have an intergenerational time scale BI, and so do the upper middle class ones that have persisted. After all the simple fact is some tasks can’t be completed in a single lifetime.
