Why is time already spent on a thing not a component of sunk cost? Explain please.

Hell this entire article uses the time spent farming in farmville as an example.

Time itself can also be a sunk cost, but I still don't see how that relates to your example.

What does any of this have to do with sunk costs?


All of it. When you see a deal that you "just can't pass up on" so you buy some useless bullshit out of a misguided feeling of FOMU, that's sunk cost fallacy. There's a perceived need to avert loss that is totally imaginary.


That's not what it is at all. Sunk costs are money you've already spent, not money that you "must" spend. The sunk cost fallacy is geared more towards an investment standpoint where you've already dropped X amount of money in something that's not really turning a profit, and rather than cut your losses and bail out, you double down because you figure "hey, I've already spent this much, if I stop now it will be a waste." That's why it's commonly used in gambling scenarios.

Would that even be a bad thing? The stock market right now is the second most overvalued relative to earnings than it's ever been in history. The first was the dot com bubble, and the pre depression is a very close third. It should not be as expensive to buy shares as it is right now.

There's also another thing to keep in mind with student loans. Much like other types of debt (credit cards, mortgages, auto, etc) the interest rate is tied to the prime rate controlled by the Federal Reserve. They raise this rate periodically when the economy is doing well to keep inflation in check and to increase the cost of borrowing. They've raised the rates twice this year already, in 0.25 increments, and are expected to do so two more times this year. Interest rates right now are still historically low, but whatever rate you have when your loan originates is what you will be locked into. So there may be some merit in taking the loans earlier, but I don't think it will save you any money in the long run. You should still avoid loans if at all possible.

Loans should always be a last resort, and the later you can take them, the better. I wish I had known about capitalized interest when I was in college. What that means is that if you take unsubsidized loans, they will continue to accrue interest even though you're in a deferment period since you're in school. And then after a year or so, that interest eventually becomes principal, which further increases the interest you have to pay over the years. It's probably added an extra $2,000 for me, and I didn't even have that many loans. If you do take out loans, it would be wise for you to make payments even while you're in school.
