There aught to be a word for that mental calculation you do when you weigh how long it’s gonna take to do something plus resources and compare it to your hourly rate at your actual job. Anything over a certain threshold it becomes more efficient to work and throw money at rather than do.
you have to take into account the possible fun you’ll have building something, fun you don’t necessarily find at work.
But I get the point, if it’s a chore you want to do to spend less you do have to make the meth
I bet in German there’s a word for that.
Well yes, buts its literally the same in English: opportunity costs = Opportunitätskosten
