The value of time and money:
Say you were an engineer that billed at $100 /hour under your own 1099 form.
After double social security, workman's compensation, industrial insurance, federal income tax, biz tax, medicare/ medicade tax, and overhead, like clothes and calculator that leaves:
$35/ hour take home.
Once your wife sees that money in the bank, she will buy a new mini van.
That leaves you with $5/hour x 40 hours = $200/ week gun money.
If there are two gun shows per month and you buy 1 gun / month at $350.
That leaves $50/ month for ammo.
There are ~ 160 work hours per month, so in figuring reloading costs, one needs to compare apples with apples, and that engineer's time worth while reloading is:
$50/ 160 = $0.31 / hour
You cannot afford not to reload.
