Opportunity Costs


"Opportunity cost: the value of what is given up or sacrificed represents the cost of an alternative. ...By using resources in one way, we are giving up the ability to use them in another way, so a cost has been incurred... In some cases we may even find that the pursuit of an activity 'cost us a friendship'. "
