In general, I think people aren’t using finance-style models in daily life enough. When you think of models as capital investments, dirty dishes as debts (not-being-able-to-use-the-sink as debt servicing), skills as assets, and so on, a lot of things click into place.
(Though of course, you have to get the finance-modeling stuff right. For some people, “capital investment” is a floating node or a node with weird political junk stuck to it, so this connection wouldn’t help them. Similarly, someone who thinks of debt as sin rather than as a tool that you judge based on discount and interest rates, would be made worse off by applying a debt framing to their chores.)
