Also, other costs like eating out more, buying more convenience foods, hiring someone to mow the lawn, stuff like that, because you simply don't have time to do everything yourself. And it has to take a toll on family time and relationships. If I was out an extra 4 hours/day, I'd never see my daughter except on weekends, when I'd probably be too exhausted to do anything.
