I find that people don't correctly value certain things. Obviously valuing things varies from person to person, but some stuff is just kind of rediculous.

Previously I mentioned how I hate when people say "I won't buy a car that takes premium gas." Let's see now: 20 cents per gallon extra, 10 gallons per week, 50 weeks per year. That's $100 more per year. Peanuts compared to the cost of a car.

And the same goes for gas mileage in cars. Sure, a car like a hybrid that gets double what I get is kinda interesting. But a car that gets 10 or 20% more mileage than my car? Again, that's peanuts. I wouldn't base my car purchasing decision (when spending 20, 30, 40k) on an extra 100 or 200 per year!

Several times people have asked me "how much does it cost to fill up your tank?" What kind of question is that? It costs me $7 because I have a 3 gallon tank. hah. How about asking the right question: how many miles per gallon?

Also, recently there has been lots of talk about perks at work and what people are getting from their companies. People are raving about free cell phones, free food, and free gym memberships. Come on people. Each of these things is worth 1 hour of work. These companies work you 50, 60, 70 hours per week. It does not add up.
