What’s a better title?

Compared to other people, my happiness, stress level, career success, and ability to achieve my goals … are more dependent on the time available to me. In other words, the extra tcosts hurt me more than they hurt another guy of my age. It’s like an allergy. These tcosts are small costs that really add up. (On the other hand, I am unaffected by some common “allergies”[1] ) In this post, I will try to be rational and objective about the extra tcosts in the US.

• + school work is less
• + I might be able to work from home sometimes
• – house repairs — I may have to DIY. Condo might be better. – car maintenance
• – driving everywhere
• – fewer holidays (but I still can take unpaid leaves).

• food choices,
• clothes,
• small home
• lack of car convenience
• average schools
• hair loss
