Michael HaZe, 2019-11-04I think this extension is so helpful, HOWEVER, it would be super great if you could also enter the number of hours in your typical workday for very large purchases. For example, I had something up that said it was only going to take 132 days of work to pay off, but multiplied by the typical # of hours in a workday (8), it actually came out to 1056 days! From ~1/3 of a year to almost 3 years! Huge difference in mental framing.
