One must be careful with this kind of reasoning, because often the time is not a cost - but actually a valuable part of the experience in its own right. Walking to the corner store is slower than driving - but can be a worthwhile experience for its own sake - as it give a bit of time for quiet reflection, and light exercise, and fresh air. Depending on your tastes, a similar thing could be said about doing some maintenance work on your bike vs paying someone to do it for you.
Getting too bogged down in time vs money can potentially lead to miscalculations and stress. Is it better to give someone a quick blowjob for a bit of extra cash so that you can pay someone to vacuum your house? Perhaps the calculation is not really one-dimensional.
For me, simply spending less time thinking about money is worth quite a bit of ‘wasted’ money & time; because I value the headspace that would otherwise be consumed by that!
That’s also quite valid. And the walk to the corner store is pretty much a break to slow down and just… Think. Personally I value those breaks fairly highly too.
