True but either way you’re not getting those man hours back. I can see psychologically why it’d hurt more to lose money you swear. Rationally it shouldn’t matter though. Full disclosure I’ve read a ton of behavioral Econ so I’ve consciously learned to ignore most common irrational thought pattern like the house money effect. Those can lead to bad decisions (eg being way too risky with house money) |
