Life can be stressful, particularly in uncertain times such as those brought about by a global pandemic. Stress has been shown to be a significant contributing factor to many diseases such as heart disease. Thus, relieving stress might reduce one's chances of developing such diseases. What price is your health worth to you? How much does it cost society to look after those who are ill?
Stress can also negatively impact one's social relationships. If you're a hermit, that might not matter just so much. However, for most others, relationships are pretty important. How do you put a price tag on that? How much does it cost society when relationships break down?
Counting your pennies as the time counts down on your shower might save you a few pennies, but cost you a lot more. Penny wise, pound poor as the saying goes.

The last bath I took was when we live din a townhouse and the gas and waster was included in the rent. So it didn't cost any extra to bathe. But one other thing to not about having a bath. The dirt from your body gets in the water and you end up sitting in dirty water. Then you'll need to have a shower after the bath.
I don't get stressed much and a bath would not help. Also, we don't have a bathtub. I prefer a shower. I like the type of shower-head where I can change the way the water comes out.
