I've had this same philosophy for over a decade. I think about it *exactly* the same way. One additional note (after years of experience): You should pick a *high* hourly rate (even when your paycheck is zero). What you will find is that when you set a high value on your time, you start behaving in a way that makes your time worth more. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We'll see how that changes as the percentage of food I can afford shifts toward 100% Ramen noodles!

Free time that you'd spend doing nothing, just chilling. Would time spent looking for furniture come out of your "work" time of "free" time as far as the rate is concerned. Great post!
