Not the person you were responding to, but I made the point in another comment; the optimizing of time for one task over another (as example; eating fast food (in the example a big mac which is not considered healthy by any standard) to save time but going to the gym because that's healthy) seems not really relating to valuing your time in money, but just valuing your time in subjective ways. There are many people who make > $100 / hr who clean their own house. Why? I don't know, but if you say you don't cook because it costs money then that goes for all things you do. There are people who like cleaning, but anecdotally speaking anyway, I don't know any of those and yet I know millionaires who clean their own house because 'that's how you become a millionaire'. But real sense it does not make. They all (the ones I know that is, to be specific) love to cook (hours / day) though.
