I often consider it as cost per hour tempered by some notion of utility. Some things become trivial costs when considered like this.

A computer, per hour of utility, becomes fractions of cents, coupled with the notion that it is practically indispensable to me then it is a no brainer.

My car on the other hand is incredibly expensive per hour, and with increasing public transit and cycling near me, its utility is also in question.
