Your hourly pay is only worth that when you can be available in large blocks of time (9-5), for large blocks of days (M-F), over a consistent period of time. The ten minutes you saved because you decided not to take your nightly dump isn't worth anything close to your hourly pay.

Well yeah your time would only be worth something in this example if you had a full time job, or at least some kind of stable income otherwise the decision would always be to fix it because you’re not making anything per hour and don’t have the money to replace. Also, this example is for decisions regarding fixing something or buying it, and you equate it to choosing to take a dump or not? Not sure what your point was at all. Ill be invoicing you for $7 for me having to waste the time reading and responding. You have to be able to value your time and i find using hourly pay is a good start to feeling like your time is worth something because someone decided you were worth that even if you don’t think it.
