That seems natural enough to me, it's the net income of the very limited part of you that identifies as "you" because it can sometimes talk and think about abstractions.
The deliberative part of "you" that thinks about cryonics may not be the same part that chooses restaurants, but doesn't it play a role in choosing apartments?
Agreed, but the deliberative part may actually think that the larger and better located apartment contributes more to global utility, at least if you are the head of the Singularity Institute and you just spent the last 6 years living with a wife in 200 square feet.
