Another perspective I look at is to measure the cost of that subscription or service to my net worth. If it is a miniscule percentage , ( say less than 0.1% of my networth) , i go ahead and spend that money without hesitation
Correct. As I have grown wealthier , I outsource all tasks which consume my time ( cooking , house cleaning , ironing etc) and pay up for massages , subscriptions. I can save and invest enough now to reach my goals , why the hell else do i work such a stressful job if not to enjoy my life?
Are you subscribed to individual products? You can use the all product pack for about £180 IIRC and it decreases with usage https://www.jetbrains.com/store/#personal. Or are you subscribing with your limited company? If so you wouldn’t count it as part of your own cost I presume?
Great article. Aside from the pleasure aspect, time savings can net you more income:
