45. If you mean the washing machine is toy...
Edited on Sat Nov-18-06 01:42 PM by 1932
...I'm not sure it is. If you work construction and your time is worth 20 or 30 bucks an hour, your time is much better spent working construction rather than hand washing all your clothes. It's not a toy. It's a tool and an investment which allows you to allocate your time in way that ensures you're doing the things that are worth the most to society (the things that you do that society is willing to pay the most for you to do). If you can afford the $3000, you'd be crazy not to own a washing machine. Of course, if the time the machine saves isn't worth it for a variety of reasons, then it wouldn't be worth the investment. Either way, it isn't a toy.
