According to AffordAnything.com, putting $50 into your gas tank costs 2.5 hours of your life.
Here's how that is calculated: A person earning $54,500 a year earns $27.25 per hour (working 40 hours per week). They lose 28% of their income to taxes, so their take-home pay is $19.62 per hour.
If you think of things you buy in terms of hours off your life, that $100 jacket takes off 5.5 hours.
Merely shaving $150 off weekly expenses saves an entire working day.
