If you add “time” to the math things get very cheap over time. Like a loaf of bread is more than five bucks but over time it provides sandwiches and breakfast worth 5 bucks so it is measurably saving me money. A movie costs ~about $5 an hour too.

Time really only comes into play when discussing making something yourself vs buying pre-made. You’re saving money by not paying for the time it took someone else to make it.

I always love the card terminals that play the bit of waiting music as it checks whether the transaction is approved.
Its not a must to have a shitty x5 sized truck with an even shittier loan
