If you make $20 an hour, that night out isn't $300; it costs 15 hours of work.
If you make $20 an hour, that car isn't $50,000; it costs 2,500 hours of work.
Framing purchases in time instead of dollars will help you make better decisions.
Always consider opportunity cost.
Time is your most valuable asset.
