I once worked for a fellow who did the math on that. He actually (no |
| 16 |
kidding) worked out the true cost of ownership of a wife over 40 years |
| 17 |
and compared it to the rental the services of a professional |
| 18 |
<nudge><nudge><wink>wink> twice a week. All corrected for expected |
| 19 |
inflation etc etc etc. He found that ownership was more expensive than |
| 20 |
ownership by a large margin - a factor of five. And he got to keep the |
| 21 |
bachelor lifestyle. |

He wasn't an especially happy fellow mind you, but that doesn't matter. |

He had done the math! (and was proud of it) |
