Kind of like wooing your girl with an extravagant vacation to Hawaii, and putting it all on a credit card, only to have her leave your ass when you get home.  Then, you're stuck paying the bill, and left without resource to woo another girl.

I agree, but with the cap deduction in 2021 versus a cap increase per the norm and a huge cap increase projected in years 2022 and beyond, this is a great year to use it in my opinion.
