centimental value

A strong attachment to a family heirloom due to one's either being able to make a significant income from da ownership/use of said precious object, or knowing dat it will fetch a "pretty penny" if put up for sale.
If someone claims to have a special emotional attachment to an item at an estate sale --- especially if said object is of considerable value --- it's entirely possible dat he really means dat it is "of centimental value"; i.e., dat it would be worth a lot of money to the right buyer, and so he is merely wanting to selfishly turn a tidy profit by selling it.

The Inverse Value Law

Definition:
(Coined by Nickle) An economic observation stating that in a modern Performocracy, the financial reward for a job is inversely proportional to its necessity for human survival.

Essentially, the more vital a profession is to the actual functioning of society (e.g., nurses, teachers, sanitation workers, farmers), the lower the pay. Conversely, the more trivial, performative, and non-essential the role is (e.g., influencers, streamers, reaction vloggers), the higher the potential earnings. It is the realization that we have built an economy where pretending to do things pays significantly better than actually doing them.
Person 1: "I can't believe my sister is working double shifts in the ER saving lives and can barely make rent, while that guy on TikTok just bought a Lamborghini for opening Pokemon cards."

Person 2: "That's the Inverse Value Law, man. If it saves the world, it pays minimum wage. If it entertains the bored, it pays millions."
