I once worked for a fellow who did the math on that. He actually (no kidding) worked out the true cost of ownership of a wife over 40 years and compared it to the rental the services of a professional <nudge><nudge><wink>wink> twice a week. All corrected for expected inflation etc etc etc. He found that ownership was more expensive than ownership by a large margin - a factor of five. And he got to keep the bachelor lifestyle. He wasn't an especially happy fellow mind you, but that doesn't matter. He had done the math! (and was proud of it) -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
