Are you working 996 weeks or something? At standard 40h work-week the math works out to 8.75 weeks to "pay for itself".

What if that machine lets you do your job 4x faster?

I don’t think working faster 4x makes you experience time dilation to the degree that you experience 8.75 weeks as 4 in your frame of reference; but my relativity math is a bit rusty, I could be wrong.
