Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• A price in dollars is just an abstract number I judge by "can I afford it"→
• The thing I’m offering sounds expensive the way I keep describing it, and I’m sure it’s worth it→
• I’d never blow three hundred dollars on something pointless, yet I’ll burn a whole afternoon on a useless meeting without a second thought→

• I won’t let go of this thing I own→
