I know for one that the sunk cost fallacy isn’t really a fallacy for me. Generally, the moment I put in time/money/effort in anything, I’ll make sure I fucking go and finish it — even if it results in wasting more of my time/money/effort. It’s probably why I sometimes just cannot take myself out of a sian situation, and it just drags out for damn long.

But I never knew that making a mistake could have such an impact on the decision making process. Rational people are supposed to fix their mistakes, rather than continue with it. The best part is that a few months ago, I could even rationalize that I was making yet another mistake, and I actually told myself that I should be doing this this and this.

But why am I rambling about this? Because in retrospect, I could be one thousand two hundred dollars richer right now.

Do you know how many bowls of ramen that is?
