    You can still reason about expected value in this situation, just $ is not really what you want to optimize for.

    When you view it as “100% chance of being able to afford anything” vs “50% chance of being able to afford anything” it becomes more clear.

      Yeah, it’s obviously logarithmic or something. There is diminishing value in money. I think the way you put it makes it very intuitive though.
