Show HN: I calculated the monthly cost of ownership for products

The cost per month of ownership feels like a great metric that shifts consumer mindset - the longer you own something, the more you save. Seems obvious, but most people don't think that way. Our newly introduced metric could help saving money and consume less.

The cost of ownership is a huge concept, explained well in a Terry Pratchett book:

"Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

This is awesome! I recently hit some finance goals and have been looking for expensive/luxury but functional items to buy as gifts for my family.
