Interesting points. My interests led me to switch to using Linux and other free software, and doing my own car maintenance. Part of the appeal of doing these things was that the initial expenditure of effort and money (a few new Linux-compatible parts, and a set of tools and manuals, respectively) would save me money in the long run. But I never thought of evaluating the return on these investments in the same way as financial investments.
