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.
On the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, I sometimes worry that we're getting a little too cynical around these Hansonian parts.
In any case, cryonics is a one-time expenditure for that part of you. It looms large in the imagination in advance, but afterward the expenditure almost instantly fades into the background of the monthly rent, less salient than burritos.
Cynicism is boring. Build a map that matches the territory. That map looks terribly Hansonian but doesn't have its 'cynical' bit set to 'yes'.
