I used to pay a guy down the street to mow, but with the furloughs and pay cuts I decided I had better save the money and do it myself. Well, I did it (or didn't do it) for almost a whole year and I realized how miserable I was cause I was spending so much time weed-eating that I was ignoring the gardens and my back hurt all the time.
I decided to make the best choice for me and I hired someone for $85 a month and will cut back somewhere else. He started yesterday and it was just lovely to sit on the patio without all that guilt that I should be mowing instead.
Sometimes, it's not always about the money.
