Also the cost of your time. People always forget labour costs.

Time spent doing something I love isn't a labor cost, though.

Labor costs? Don't divide your life into "what if I worked a W2 job 24 hours a day" increments.

You're not allowed to just enjoy gardening, everything has to be a side hustle.

[-] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Not what I'm saying, I'm saying that people saying X thing so is free because I didn't pay for it. Not considering that they didn't factor in the cost of their time.

Or maybe they did consider their time and they have a different attitude than you

[-] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It's not about attitude it's about fact. Time isn't free.

obviously you have already decided you're right and you're not willing to consider anything else, but let me explain it to you anyways:

some people don't spend their days calculating the monetary value of their own life and just do the things they enjoy because gardening is fun and fresh food tastes better.

And before you start, just don't. I don't need to hear your predictable take on economic theory.

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I thought about including that, but it's harder to value and it's not necessarily the case that the time spent on this is coming at the expense of time you could or would have spent earning so it felt a bit a disingenuous to mention it.
