It's well known that once you are FIRE'd, you no longer have to pay for time saving services and devices as much as you do when working. But there are still times that FIRE'd people pay money to save time. Some examples: I pay for washing machines and dryers instead of cleaning my clothes manually. There are still times I pay to park my car close instead of walking a longer distance. I buy some books rather than waiting to get them from the library. I pay for some cleaning products that make the job go quicker even though I could do it with just elbow grease.
Implicit in making these decisions is some kind of knowledge of what is your "hourly rate"... what you are willing to pay to save an hour of time. Obviously this will vary depending on how onerous the task is, so everyone will have different answers for different situations. Hence for the purposes of this poll I'm asking what is the most you usually pay to save an hour.
