$3.15 an hour

Apparently, our cost of existence, for the whole family, is $3.15 an hour.

I figured this by taking all of our monthly expenses (not counting savings, tithe, etc.) and dividing them out over the month. $3.15 an hour is about 5.2 cents a minute. So, if I reduce a task by 2 minutes, it better not cost me more than 10.4 cents to do it. This means that a $7.50 bottle of Tilex would need to last over six months if it saves one minute per day, over three months if it saves two.

This is paradigm-shifting information. I need to think about this for a little while.
