[quote=Anonymous]This is also a constantly changing equation as your life circumstances change.  But yes we're all making these calculations constantly.

When I kinda had money (but by every objective standard had a lot of money):
Would only buy cheap clothes for my kids.
Would not outsource mowing my lawn.
Would not pay for a really expensive hotel.

Now that I have a lot of money but I'm not a billionaire:
The cheap clothes look like shit after a couple of washes of the knees have holes before the end of the season.  I buy better stuff for my younger kids who are still growing and need new stuff yearly.
I'm not mowing my lawn.  My time is more valuable.  I'm busier than I was before.  And I just don't want to anymore.
Some hotels still are a no, but my threshold is a lot higher and once you stay nice hard to go back.

Just a couple of examples.  I was raised in a very frugal family and so it took me a long time to let go of many frugal habits but as time has gone on, I've somehow managed!
