I really like the typo (takes versus taxes). I see your point of view about being willing to pay for having reliable services. I lived in Indonesia for more than 10 years. There were a lot of services that I would have been willing to pay extra for to guarantee reliability.
"Stuff that is not necessary" (but really fun) is what I was referring to as the "temptation tax." You have opportunities available because you live in a bigger city that may not be available for my kids. Larger cities attract experts, and experts charge higher fees!
I really appreciate your perspective and honesty. Thanks for stopping by.
