I agree that people generally under-appraise their time (for instance, driving an extra 10 hours instead of flying for 2 hours because it saves you $100)
But there are certain things that are done for their own sake. I'll spend 8 hours making a desk out of $300 in lumber even though I can just buy one already made for $200, not for cost efficiency but out of love for the process. Same with baking sourdough. There is something inherently gratifying about fermenting the thing and getting it perfectly baked with consistent grain etc. Having bread to eat is a nice side effect. If I just need bread and don't have the time to bake it I'll just throw the starter in the fridge and go buy some.
It's all perspective anon. It's perfectly fine to waste a little time and energy if it's something you enjoy. Don't listen to some hustler retard. That faggot never built anything in his whole life and thinks he has any authority on telling people how to live.
