Whenever i purchase something i think about how much time did i have to work so i can have the money to pay for it? How much time a person in a third world country would have to spend? I ask the second questions to initiate perspective shift. Then i ask myself what else can i do with this money and how much time off could i have if i don’t spend this money. I think asking these questions largely depends on how deep in debt you are or how deep down the rabbit hole of “self perceived meaningful consumerism” you have dug down. Clearly our biases and imagined orders are drivers of our values so our estimation of opportunity cost is largely affected by those.
