I still insist value is subjective. A universally accepted metric doesn't put a stamp on what value is. It's all perception and I'm not being sentimental. Also consider that not everyone that owns a $800 worth laptop have the smarts or luck to learn a skill or do something with it that'll obtain recurrent value for money. The $800 gown if owned by a business-minded entity can serve for rental services. Everyone have different approaches to the same things. Even the most mundane things can be valuable (and yes, monetarily) to some people.
Great post buddy. Why not give me a follow :-)
