Maybe it's a generational thing; I had to fix my own car, 1967 Mustang, because I couldn't afford to pay someone else. I also learned to work on go carts, mini bikes, lawnmowers, etc. and still do to this day.

Being a boomer has benefits; we learned to fix things because we had to.

Yeah, I don't have the time, patience, or willpower to do work that I could pay someone else to do. My time is more valuable to me than the money I would save doing the work myself.

I do that now on some things, like roofing, painting, etc. At one point, I had more time than money so learning things like auto repair, plumbing, electrical, etc. came in really handy. I have a natural interest in how things work so a lot comes 'easy'.

Worked in IT for 51 years so I know a little bit about computers, too...
