Bug Description
Hi
I just read the book "Your Money or Your Life" written by Vicki Robin, I recommend it.
I learned a very interesting value that is worth entering into HomeBank.
It is called "Life Energy".
With this value, HB can specify how much time you had to work for it at each expense.
In settings we need one field to set "How much money you earn in 1 hour of work" (Everyone can get this value just by divide monthly income by numbers of hours they work for it in that month).
How it works ? For example:
If you earn $30 an hour and you have spent $180 then the value 6 hours will appear in the "Life Energy" column. Shows how much time of your life you had to spend to be able to earn at this cost (180/30=6).
It's a very simple rule that lets you realize some important things and helps you save money.
I recommend that this value appear in every report and transaction list.
What You Think?
Simple and brilliant.

Well this is interesting.
I sometimes used something like that several times to justify my spend was not that much, without knowing there was a book on this.
Question:
- does the value need to remains in hours ?
- or we can span to days for big amount, or minutes, seconds for small one ?
