Somebody I know put down £25k non returnable deposit on a villa in Ibiza for his 40th this coming September. He did that a year ago.
I remember sitting with him in a pub last summer and discussing whether it was crazy to do that so far in advance. We discussed all sorts of possible eventualities. Up to an including the outbreak of war or the death of either him or his wife. We decided that war was unlikely and that if either of them died we'd just turn it into a memorial party.
What's the worst that could happen we laughingly asked?
Turns out the answer was a global pandemic.
