It's completely missing a huge part of the equation though: comparison to cheaper options. Something might not sound so expensive if you frame it as $0.50/hour

Something might not sound so expensive if you frame it as $0.50/hour of use. But it certainly does if there's an alternative that meets your needs that you can get for $0.10/hour of use.
- crazygringo 3y agoWell of course, it seemed like that part went without saying. There have been a bunch of times in my life when I delayed purchasing or felt guilty about purchasing something genuinely valuable but very expensive. But then when you're in year 5 or 7 of using it daily, you're like... best use of my money ever. That's the point here. If you spend a ton of time needing a large screen, using this for 3 years might be that expensive purchase that pays off for you.
