It's not a question of where you live, but of how much you value your time.

It's been estimated that Elon Musk's time, for example, is worth around $22,000 per minute. So if he's wasting 7 seconds messing around with his dishwasher, that's a lost opportunity cost of $2566.

At that point, you save money by paying a servant. Not by messing around with a dishwasher yourself.
