Semantics
---Cost is when you have money and use some of it.---


Nope, cost is defined by Merriam Webster as:

1 : to require expenditure or payment more>
2 : to require effort, suffering, or loss
transitive senses
1 : to have a price of
2 : to cause to pay, suffer, or lose something absences cost him his job>

Some of these do include money, but one can also pay an
emotional cost, hard work can cost you your blood, sweat and
tears, and yes Virginia, poor reporting can cost you
opportunities.
