I see where this is going, so I’ll go ahead and let you run an economic analysis on me. But, keep in mind that cost is not the only factor, only the main one for most of the world’s population. For me it has far more to do with the social costs I would have to pay to sign up for cryonics.
That said, I estimate I’ll be putting about 1 hour a week into writing myself into the future. I am currently paid at a rate of approximately $18 an hour. I’m not sure what my lifetime average pay rate will be, but let’s go ahead and estimate it at $60 per hour in 2010 USD (I have two M.S. degrees, one in computer science and one in mathematics, and I’m willing to do work with questionable ethical outcomes, like “defense” contracting).

The figures given put that at 10 years of writing at 1h per week resolution vs a cryonic preservation.
