I mean, I mow my own grass, change my own oil, do all of my own home maintenance that doesn't require a license, grow a lot of food in my garden, drive myself or walk to restaurants for pickup instead of doordash on the days we don't cook at home, occasionally make my own soap from bacon grease I've refined and lye I've made from my own bbq ashes from wood split from a tree I cut down, work out in parks instead of a gym, hell I've even cut my own hair if I don't have anything important coming up...

But good Lord forbid I outsource dealing with our local government to a company with more experience and a good track record.

ETA I often brew enough beer and ferment enough wine to last me a couple months, and one of these days I'll get around to distilling my own whiskey too. I'll probably remember more lazy things I do, but this is probably enough for now.

You lost me at cutting your own grass and changing oil.

I mean, I know *how* and I've done it in the past, I just don't do it anymore because I pay someone else to do it, because as I get older and make more money, I realized that my time is worth something.

I've had friends make the same argument. I certainly *could* pay someone to do all of that too.

But I noticed those friends spend their extra time on the couch googling dopamine addiction and low T. Not saying that's you.

Different strokes I guess...

All that to say, Yes I pay for the convenience of Ownwell.
