One other aspect, other than saving $, is the social factor. I shoot with a friend and we started reloading together. At his home he resizes his brass, flairs and primes. I do the same. He comes over and we reload hundreds of rounds together, checking each others work, using my press, PM, scales, powder and bullets. We sit in the 3 seasons porch and visit while we do this. We could each reload separately but then we'd miss each others company. I suggest that if you look at reloading as a "chore" to save $ you'll soon get bored and quit. It will be like taking out the trash, something that's got to be done but not to be enjoyed.
