Package 'saunacost'

Title: Dollars-Per-Session Math for a Home Sauna or Cold Plunge
Description: A home sauna is priced by sticker and judged by vibe; this package prices it by the session. sauna_cost() amortizes the gear over the sessions you actually take, adds the electricity line most buyers skip, and prints the visit count where the gear finally beats paying per visit elsewhere - or says plainly when usage never closes the gap.
