I am not sure that was the point. My impression is that he was trying to change his perception of the time-vs-money trade-off and make himself more willing to trade money for time (and convenience).

"Not used" money is also known as savings.

Yes, but the purpose of the exercise is not necessarily equivalent to what you're concentrating on during the exercise.
