    Value can also be a feeling of joy or happiness in the individual that beholds or experience something.

      In which case the monetary value is the amount they’re willing to pay or pass up to have/retain the experience.

        The paw print on my railing on the porch from my cat stepping on the newly painted area is valued by me, it refreshes memories from her and makes me smile. None would pay for it, and if I repaint the porch the print will be over painted.

        That does not make the print worthless while it exists

          Sure, and how much would you pay/refuse to preserve it? If I offered $1k? Surely there’s a number there.

          The value to you is how much you’re willing to pay/refuse. There’s no absolute value for anything, but there is a maximum and an average.
