Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2643882, member: 77814"]large corporations usually build a new building due to wanting to expand and offer better services.  and their existing building was well paid for.  Otherwise they usually just expand/refurb the building.  Taco Bell near me refurb'd their 30 yr old building, where as McDonalds totally replaced & moved their aging 40+yr old building.  Walmart expanded/refurb'd their 10 yr oldish building.    So it's all dependent upon the economies and whether they want to move for better customer/traffic flow. So the debt of new constuction can be based on the profitable cashflow over 5-10 yrs (or more really) of building construction or they can leverage expansion costs across a region, etc. for surplus budgeted projects. But companies profits are driven by the stock holders/corporate drive for more profits to either create value in stock appreciation or dividends or both. On a personal level, if one cannot save then they really have to evaluate their entire budget down to the penny.  I tell people to track *all* their expenses (even using a gumball machine) for a couple months.  They're usually amazed at how much money they spend on stuff they didn't even consider would impact a budget - normally Starbucks percolates to the top.  But no one wants to give up their coffee. FYI, I've seen some people actually spend more on coffee, than their mortgage.[/QUOTE]
