I agree. Priorities is a concept I'm always preaching around here. We all have different ones. Doesn't make them right or wrong - just different. I'd never spend $30,000 on a car while some people think we're nuts for spending thousands every year on vacations, for example. I don't mind spending $50/month for lawn care but I'd never pay that much for cable TV. That just isn't a priority for me, but may be for others.

Another thing to consider is income. If you earn $10/hr, paying for lawn care might look different than if you earn, say, $50/hr. Personally, I made enough just in surveys in September to cover lawn care for almost the next 2 years. So I'll keep on paying someone to do that job for me. My priorities lie elsewhere.
