How much is your time worth?

How much do you value your time?
For example I just found that I was charged over twice the amount they said it would be for my activation/first time fee on T-Mobile.
It was 200$ something instead of 84$ something.
Now, I can pay that, its not a big deal in terms of how much money I have or don't have. The thing is I don't find $120 worth the hours of bull it would take to go and get the fee reduced or refunded by calling T-Mobile or the dealer I got the contract and phone from....
Its a combination of laziness and boredom really I guess. I am unemployed so its not that its affecting other priorities but its still just a pain in the ass.
So, my time I guess is worth somewhere above 40$ an hour to me if it would take, my guess, 3 hours to get that sorted. |

| That is nice but really your time is worth what someone is willing to pay you not what you think you deserve. |

Thats not what I meant slo-mo.
How much do YOU value YOUR time.
For example, if you were paid 20$ an hour, and paid hourly and you could work over time and get time and a half, but choose not to you would value your time somewhere over 30$ an hour.
Where would that line fall that you'd do something else instead of being paid in some form or another. |

Who said it was anything about physical laziness. Boredom for me results from mental laziness, and mental laziness comes from listening to T-mobile or letstalk.com hold messages and music.
On the note of getting off my ass though, its finally not baking hot outside. I should start doing my bike route again.
I have lost almost 20lbs in the last two months though just cause I haven't been eating two meals a day. I have like a sandwich and a yogurt, or I get a pizza and eat that for three days.
Living essentially on your own rocks... :p |

How about, one could value their time such that they WOULDN'T work overtime, just so they could have more time for themselves? ;)
In other words, why does one's time have to have only monetary value? There's a lot of I wouldn't do for money if it interfered with my time. |

You can place a monetary value on it though. I agree, money almost never came into my mind in terms of when I was working for hourly pay and I considered my free time. In fact I liked it in some ways more because if I wasn't on the clock and my work was done my bosses couldn't get mad that I took a 2 hour lunch. :p |
