In case you’re wondering, the AC unit in our bedroom costs $0.16/hour. The living room costs $0.50/hour.
My wife is trying to make me stop. She says it’s annoying.
It’s sensible to calculate this sort of cost, regardless of being normal or not. However be careful when and how you share this info with your family - because depending on the context, you’ll be basically saying “I put $0.16 over your hourly well-being”. (In special, pissing kids with this is a bad idea. They might even leave the AC turned on needlessly, just to spite you.)
Thanks, this is the answer I was looking for. I’m trying to save money because we don’t have a lot. My wife is on board with saving, but she hasn’t done the math to see where most of our money is going.
I might need to back off a bit. I like to save, but this might be a bit much.
