Value over Cost
Price is temporary. Value compounds. Teach learners to ask 'What value am I receiving?' before 'How much does it cost?'
In Practice
A ₹500 course that changes how you invest for the next 20 years is cheaper than a free video that teaches you nothing you'll ever use.
Generic Example
The cheapest umbrella that breaks in the first storm cost more than the expensive one that lasted five years.
Before I ask how much this costs, have I actually asked what it's worth to me?
