Even when I was only making $25 an hour. I would place greater value on my personal time than money. If you are sacrificing hours out of your day on transport then you will life miserably.
For me public transit is 3.25 and it would have taken me an hour to get home. Walked home for free in about 45 mins. Or paid for a cab to bring me home in 5-7 mins for $17.
Sure I've almost lost an hours wages but I have an hour of my time back as well that I could put towards household chores or my hobbies.
True, or you could enjoy the commute, in which case is a double win.
But yea, money is basically time debt owed to you by society, so if spending money to get time, it balances out. Kinda like how spending money on assets doesnt directly affect net worth.
