I make good money.
I've still never thought an hour of my time with me doing NOTHING is worth more than a working man makes in an hour.
Regardless of how important my free time is to me, it's a yes or no answer.
Not a
"Well, $5 to do absolutely nothing isn't worth my time, because it's not as much as that guy doing manual labor makes in that same hour, or how much I make in an hour doing actual work."
I've never felt like my time doing NOTHING is worth as much as somebody else's time actually doing their job. It just seems weird to me, because I don't think you should feel you have to be paid based on what you THINK your free time is worth compared to somebody else's.
"Do I want the free time or not because I'd rather sleep," I get that.
"This isn't worth MY free because I make X amount at my job," I dunno.
