Wow, you can literally see your time being spent at sub second resolution... I feel like my life is comparable to cloud hosting

This is actually how I decide whether someone is worth paying to do something for me.

Grammar nazi / random tip: "how much does my life cost?" would be a better title.

Overuse of the present continuous "is ... (something)ing", particularly with a postfix "now" is a hallmark of Indian English.

If op has a 5 year loan on a $40,000 car + taxes + insurance + repairs... that sounds about right.
