Enter your salary to see your time value
Most people are poor judges of whether a time-money trade is worth it — because they've never made the calculation explicit. If your work hour is worth $50, a $20 task that takes 30 minutes costs you $25 of time plus $20 of money. Outsourcing it for $30 saves you net.
More importantly, it makes FIRE feel real: financial independence is the point at which your investment income per second exceeds your salary per second. That's the finish line.
