I’m not trying to avoid wasting my time so I can hustle for shiny things though. I’d just rather have spent one of my limited days on this earth not browsing through Reddit.
A twenty something wasting 5 hours is wasting future benefits of using that. The opportunity cost is horrendous. Multiples of any later hourly rate because of how early its wasted.
