I've gotten into a few arguments with friends over the years about this way of thinking. I've always felt the same way. I tend to undercharge my labor and sell things for cheaper than they should be according to people closest to me. I pay my subcontractors more than they should be apparently.
I understand capturing as much value as possible, but that's not in the cards for me. I feel as long as I make enough money to be happy, that's ok. Everyone tells me I'm dumb so I'm probably hurting myself, but I really appreciate Albini's insistence not to take so much money.
