As for time, there is the issue of it running out, as well as insufficiency. I am thinking of a layout that would be available while I'm still alive.
I realize that the mere concept of having someone else build a layout for you is anathema to some folks. To those folks, I would say hold your fire, since some of the stuff you choose to spend money on might well seem an extravagance or self-indulgent to others. Each to his own.
Trust me, if I could afford it I'd hire someone to build my layout. To those who can afford it, I say go for it! You only live once! I think the backlash comes from those folks who tend to have a big head about how great "their" layout is when they didn't do anything to build it. Fortunately, those are few and far between.
