Time is money, professor proves

The most important thing to note about this article are these hard, immutable facts:

The study found that the typical cost of cooking dinner, including the value of time spent and the value of the ingredients, was �10.77 ($15.72) for men and �9.81 ($14.30) for women.

The average cost of ordering a take away meal was �5.01 ($7.31) for men and �4.96 ($7.24) for women.

So therefore it’s cheaper to eat out than to prepare a meal. Less than half.

Suddenly, I am justified.
