There is usually no opportunity cost though. Those shoes you keep around have no margin cost for the apartment until you need a bigger place.
- mox1 1y agoThere is absolutely an opportunity cost for all of the stuff you own. I won't publish my entire thinking on this, but after seeing my parents collect, hoard and store things for years and years, I place a high value on not having something (I tell myself that I am letting the store hold it for me.) I still have too much stuff and its a fraction of what my parents had. (Perhaps this is more of an American thing?)
