I know you haven't replied and this has kind of been covered, but if you make more money, your time really is more valuable. That's why wealthy people have gardeners, maids, shoppers, etc.

If you make $100/hour, it's not going to make any sense spending an hour mowing your lawn if you can pay someone $20/hour to do it for you. If you only make $13/hour, then you will probably mow the lawn yourself because your time isn't worth $20/hour.



To be fair, this sorta goes along with what I was saying.

It's not that you NEED the free time more and thus it's more valuable, like he was initially arguing, and thus what I was replying to.

It's that you make more and thus FEEL your time is more valuable, whether it actually is or not. Realistically, somebody who does manual labor 60 hours a week is going to NEED their free time more than somebody who sits at a computer doing data entry for 60 hours a week. So that first person's time SHOULD be worth more. But because Person B makes more money, they FEEL their time is worth more than Person A's.

I realize that's how it works... That whoever makes more is worth more, regardless of job/etc... but I don't really feel that's how it SHOULD be, because I don't feel what you make should be the be all, end all of it.
