But the example in the post is just utterly stupid. What's the benefit of finding a cheap cellphone contract when it results in a crappy connections/coverage/dopped calls. Don't save money on things that make you unprofessional. Invest in quality for things that are important.

Adding to this point: Don't make your life suck today so 2050 you can live. What happens if you die tomorrow?

Strike a balance between making it rain and being a miser.

Thinking about costs as they apply to my finical situation in 2055 doesn't mean that I don't spend money in 2018 for enjoyment. I just look at the cost from a different point of view.

Your scaling is linear. It's not really different at all, the numbers are just larger. At the end of the day, lower cost = better.

I agree that connectivity is a great investment. I pay extra for more bandwidth in my home office and I would buy more if it was available.
