Opportunity cost effectively refers to what you are missing by doing something else. Let’s say that you are an employee of company ABC but if you were not working there, you would be self-employed making $AAA per week. The $AAA is your opportunity cost by choosing to be employed by ABC. It’s not always possible (sometimes not applicable) to try to lower your opportunity cost.
