What's Your Free-Time Rate

[Scout]

Wondering if anyone else sets a Free-Time Rate for themselves when trying to decide if you do something yourself or not. I had posted:

If you attach value to things figure out your throw-it-out-rate.

I use $50 an hour (~my overtime rate at work) and compute that to an objects value. I figure in an hour I can sell 5-6 items on e-bay or creigs list (1/2hr to list them, 1/2 hr to pack and ship). So that sets an objects value at $8-$10. if I don't think I can get that for it, it represents a negative cash flow.

Good luck!!!

In the Life Altering Event thread.

My wife and I use this if we are looking to do things like home improvements, landscaping, buy or cut our firewood....

We are both do-it-ourselves type people and we use this to force ourselves to outsource what we do not like to do or are not good at.

Do you do this?

What is your rate?

How did you set your rate?

Thoughts?
