One thing I wish I made more clear in the post is that I do already spend pretty generously on time to money trade offs. I stay fairly up to date with the various posts about how to spend money to save time. I get food and products delivered, have a cleaner that cleans our house monthly. I do value my time at about the cost I would expect it would take to hire someone into the same role, not the literal number I am paid. I do not spend a huge amount of time thinking about money and how to save an extra $0.50 on bread (although I did spend non-trivial time up front for large recurring costs like housing). I do not see the current level of spending competing against my free time. In fact, it was picked after we had already optimized spending more to save more time.
Maybe there is a bunch of interventions I am missing that directly save time that I have not seen written about?
