What is your workaround for this?

"And my idea was that if I'm spending money from my pocket for something then I will value it more."

I've read the above line in an email. I agree that I do feel like that. You know, sometimes, you need not buy everything. You get it for free sometimes - might be an online course, book, or something else.

How do you get around with that knowing that it is a belief?
