And that we will have available funds when we want to buy on demand. Personally, I prefer to maintain a large TBR list so that "demand" becomes more negotiable and in case of Times Of No Money. "Well, I caught up with my stock of series X, but the next volume's pretty expensive... I'll switch to series Y for now and keep an eye out for a sale on X." Multiply by a couple of dozen, and there's always something to switch to.

I don't track date of purchase. Never have, really, except when logging new acquisitions in Goodreads... and lately, I've been noting my purchase price there as well. (The "private notes" field is good for that.)
