Our sight is determined by many factors. For most part man sees better when the time-span presented is shorter. When the waiting time is longer it looses enthusiasm or makes little sense.
James 5:7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
A farmer waits patiently after sowing for the time of reaping. For corn time ranges from 3 to 9 months in our country. That wait time makes sense to many a farmer.
Planting a tree is different to planting corn. When we planted trees with our daughter July 2011 the seedlings looked so tiny. The cost of the seedlings was minimal. Now the trees have grown taller than all of us. Now pruning them is sweat and good leisure-time activity. The air is cleaner around here!
Lastly, political tenure in our country if five years. Men and women vie for elective positions at these important times in our country. Five years makes a lot of sense to our forks.
All that to say that, for each of us when time is presented to us for consideration in a venture or business. The longer the period involved the more difficult it is to actualize - though in long haul is the most gain. No wonder we have to be reminded in our media that it is our duty to plant trees and care for our forests. Five years make sense to some while to some only a season of 3 to 9 months make sense.
In fiscal matters, many prefer the instant gratification of merry go rounds and instant cash. The saving culture - delaying instant gratification is a habit many of us should learn. Could there be something better for five years, ten years, more?

Habakkuk 2:3* For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
