False.
While many choices have financial consequences or can be framed in terms of costs and benefits (opportunity cost), not every decision is meaningfully or adequately understood solely in financial terms. People also make decisions based on ethics, emotion, identity, relationships, aesthetics, duty, or safety — factors that resist reduction to money. For example, choosing to spend an evening with family, keeping a treasured but unprofitable hobby, or refusing to compromise safety for higher pay are decisions better explained by non‑financial values.
