The time argument is countered in roughly the same manner as when you do home improvement.
Yiu don't pay taxes on the time spent on your own projects.
There is no alternate I've cost, as the time would usually have been spent watching television if not doing these projects.
This argument is brought up a lot against using opportunity cost for private projects, but I don't buy it
If you are dedicating a considerable amount of time on a project, there is of cause opportunity cost, since that's time
- not spend on improving health - not spend on improving skills - not spend on improving other projects
Seldom one decides between a side project and starring into the void
