It really is something I feel strongly about: value of time. I value it higher than I value money. Most choices I make, or calculations I do on paper that involve budgeting, revolve around time moreso than money for me.
The only money I need is to pay for the basics, essentials, or whatever I need to work productively (such as 3 extra flat monitors on my desk, which isn't cheap to be fair, but my work requires it, and a fking expensive laptop for graphics work). Extras to that are luxuries. I don't need to spend a lot of money to entertain myself, so am not motivated to work harder to earn such a surplus (though there are other reasons). I prefer to spend the time differently, reading things I find interesting, spend it with people I value in my life, etc.
