What activities have the highest joy/cost ratio?

Asked by Chriznak (50points) December 17th, 2008

I figure the assumptions can be: activity divided by the activites fixed cost(entry fee’s, equipment rental, etc) + the product of your hourly wage times the time consumed by the activity+setup+commute

Mathematically, anything free has a ratio of infinity!

But I think that the sweet spot is activities costing around 10 bucks- a night at a good comedy or band show, a great movie at your local independent cinema, or some whipped cream and handcuffs.

Don’t spend too much, because then you’ll be too busy worrying about that to enjoy what you just spent it on.

Beer, FTW!

I think that beer has a much lower payoff than liquor does. For 20 bucks, you can have 4 or 5 nights of debauchery! Can’t get that with beer. Unless you’re talking natty light.

Masturbation has a higher joy/cost ratio than sex. Much less effort.

Giving someone a compliment.
The benefit/cost ratio can approach infinity.

Geocaching! The cost is one time (handheld GPS) and the fun is really unending.
