The economic term is: Opportunity Cost.

The term opportunity cost is a measure that considers the person's preferences, that means that it is different in every person. It analizes the things you are leaving over whenever you make a decision.

In Katie's example, the opportunity cost of the money she wabts to spend in buying a car is what she is not going to do with that money.
