I disagree. A few are purely monetary trade-offs (e.g. buying your cable modem) but the great majority involve some trade-offs which typically involve time and/or quality of experience.
For example, sleeping on an electric mattress pad and having the room be 10 degrees colder is a rather different experience -- one that some people will be fine with, and others won't. A low-flow shower nozzle saves you a bit on the water bill, but the experience of the shower is different.
I am not saying the experience will be necessarily worse -- it might turn out to be better -- but I think it's misleading to think of these changes as "purely monetary trade-offs".
In my experience, this isn't really true. When changing to a shower with a different water pressure, I will initially notice the difference, but after a few days the feeling of showering with the new pressure is the same as the feeling of showering with the old pressure.
In my experience it is. I feel the difference and like high pressure much more.
