That's approximately what it means to me too.

That is less accurate for me.  I would _prefer_ that the resources put
into holding onto it weren't wasted, but, well, sunk cost fallacy; when
I've decided something is to go, past resources invested in keeping it
are a sunk cost.

There are some things which I would happily give away FTGH but would
hang onto otherwise.  They are comparatively few such; they're the
things that are right on the border between "keep" and "get rid of" - I
find it easier to let something go if it's going somewhere it'll be
appreciated.
