What is your time worth?

[Richard Hakluyt]

I find that there are tasks that I don't really mind doing and other tasks that I do. So I do the latter and avoid the former unless there is no alternative.

My time gets sold at $250 per hour.

Is it what you get or what your employer gets?

exactly

i charge 350 per hour

in reality i only make about 250 per hour i work but there's no causal connection because my comp is really based on the business i generate not how much i personally work

i usually generate that business with very little investment of my personal time

That's an interesting question.  There used to be a time when I could win $40 an hour playing poker online, before online poker dried up.  Eventually I greatly reduced my poker playing time just because it became a mindless grind that took up a limited amount of free time that I had.  Playing poker didn't have a negative fun factor for me, but it had nearly zero positive fun factor.  So I guess my time is worth more than $40 an hour.

I do my job and pay others to do theirs.

How do you go about becoming an oil worker, anyway?

Nope. I used to have that thing where'd drive out of my way for cheaper gas but between driving more and then only saving like 5-10 cents/gallon, I decided it was silly. I do it still though when the difference is like 40 cents or more.  However, I still use card even when it is 5-10 cents cheaper to use cash at a station.

I bill $175 an hour (all goes to the company but whatever).  For stuff on the side I bill anywhere from $25 to $100 an hour.

I'll often spend some extra time/effort to save money or get in on a deal, but a lot of that is about the thrill of the hunt.  But I hate waiting in line and will not put deal-hunting ahead of quality family time or enjoying Thanksgiving, etc. so I draw the line at Black Friday-type nuttiness.

Having kids sure as shit makes you appreciate how valuable time is.  Just wish that made me better at *managing* my time

Actually, there is one thing I'm perfectly capable of but don't do, and that's wash my car. My flat is two floors up with no access to water at ground level - that would be a lot of trips up and down stairs and door unlocking. Once a year (that's plenty, I don't drive much and I keep my car in a residential car-park so there's so dirt or fumes) I take it to the car wash place where for £12 a bunch of Poles and Romanians clean and polish it inside and out to a far higher standard that I'd be capable of while I have a complementary cup of tea and watch the news or catch up on scurrilous tabloid stories in the waiting room.

I have scantily clad cheerleaders wash my car. Jailbait in jean shorts and bikini tops? BINGO.

[Ideologue]

I don't wash my car.  That's what rain is for.

[Admiral Yi]

Do you have automatic car washes in Great Britain?

When I picked up my car from the lot where it'd sat for 2 months and birds had a field day...rain couldn't do enough.

Do you have automatic car washes in Great Britain?

Those things that wash your cars automatically, rather than manually?

Drive up to Fort McMurray and ask around.
