Avoided reading the rest of this post for the spoiler warning, started the interaction on the blog post, was bothered by the money question since how much I'd be willing to pay is directly related to how much money I have/make. (If I were willing to pay as much as $250, I'm doomed financially. If, on the other hand, this is how much we're willing to pay with a guaranteed conscientiousness increase, I'd expect to make back what I paid in the first month.)
