Back when I was younger and earned minimum wage, whenever I thought about buying something I'd run the calculation of how many hours I would need to work to pay for it. That helped me save quite a bit.

And now I'm older with a well paying job I find myself having to do the opposite calculation.

Things like, "Actually I will get an uber instead of the bus, so I can spend more time at the party."
