Endowment effect - what your time is worth

well, there are a lot of things that would be hugely advantageous for me to undertake...

but, it all boils down to what my time is worth in dollars..

and then you have a few dilemmas

like, the endowment effect.. and my time.

see, i wouldn't get a job if it paid me $20/hour

that implies that I feel my time is worth more than $20/hour

also note that I'm not willing to pay someone else $6/hour even if they are half as effective as I am to help me complete tasks.

I would put a higher price on my time if I'm selling it, but I would not pay even half of that price if I were to be purchasing my own time.

if i was efficient, I would be willing to pay them $6/hour, or I would be willing to work for $20/hour
