Jim, you really need to retire this old mantra.

'It is a fact of human nature' that real people don't value a thing
based on it's 'investment' or 'cost', but rather based on the
usefulness, utility, comfort, satisfaction, or enjoyment that comes
from having it.


EXACTLY.

Everybody I know direly and sincerely want to win the lottery, and
don't mind one bit knowing that the ticket only costs them $1... and
I doubt seriously everybody who has been plunged into millionaire
status stays up at night worrying about the fact that they didn't
work for the money.

I believe the "you enjoy more if you work for it" line is just a
way of trying to get people to do something they rather had
not do.
