Mistakes in the other direction are also common! It’s easy for young professionals to use the average value of their time to calculate tradeoffs, rather than the marginal value. When you’re making $80 per hour, doordashing every meal starts to make some sense, as do laundry services, etc. I’m not against these things, but the time savings often go to leisure rather than career reinvestment.
This is totally fine, and sometimes necessary, as long as people are correctly identifying what they’re really buying and what the price is.
