I agree with some of these points, but I prefer to pay people for lawn service. When you have a 1 acre lot and you work 12 hour days, you don’t want to spend the weekend mowing your yard, trimming, etc. Money well spent on getting the help. I agree that cleaning the house is a luxury and I’m planning on getting rid of my cleaners since I can easily do that myself. I think it should be a balance of both (things you have time to do/like to do vs. things you can’t do/dont’ want to do). I hate sewing and it’s tedious to me and requires some skill to make it look right, therefore I use a tailor.

As the economy slows, more people will be doing more of this things, but all the service sector of the economy is based on these things. Therefore, as more people take care of their own chores, the service sector of the economy will likely slow.

I have ALWAYS put these into practice and have saved TONS of money! I cut my own hair and people often think it’s professional. I have been cutting my own hair for years so I have had a lot of practice. I also dye my own hair. I cut my families hair too! All look fantastic. My husband does most of the work in the house for projects and takes care of the car while I do the cleaning. We all pitch in for yard work.
Increasing your wealth to pay others to do this for you is no way to save money! When you spend your limit of your paycheck there is none to put away for savings. Hence by doing it yourself you can put away the money you might have spent for others to do it for you thus increasing your wealth!

do your own pet grooming? i’ve been a vet tech for 10 years and you have no idea how many home grooming accidents i’ve helped stitch up! be very, very careful that you don’t cut your dog or get bit! you should definitely comb and brush your dog or cat. you should be able to bathe your dog, but unless you’re brave you may want to leave hair cuts to the pros.

I think its a good article. Some people wrote its hard to learn to do a lot of things. With sites like Google, Youtube and 5min.com you can search countless things that you can learn to do yourself now. My wife searched Stuffed Mushrooms on Youtube last week and they came out awesome.

Some of these are great ideas. But, not everyone can, or wants to, do all of them. And sometimes, when you consider how much time you could spend doing other things, it’s not worth it. Figure out which things you could do — practically — and do those things yourself to save a little more money.
