    Grammar nazi / random tip: "how much does my life cost?" would be a better title.

    Overuse of the present continuous "is ... (something)ing", particularly with a postfix "now" is a hallmark of Indian English.

    Wow, you can literally see your time being spent at sub second resolution...

    I feel like my life is comparable to cloud hosting

    Nice, I made a similar thing last year. It's a browser extension that counts the time you spend on distracting sites and shows how much money you could make if you were working instead:

    This is actually how I decide whether someone is worth paying to do something for me.

    Tried to access this at work. It's blocked because of malware. opendns. com (spaces included in link deliberately). Caveat browser...
