That used to be me, but I've changed 180 degrees. I'll be 73 years old in 6 months. I don't have time to f&%K around doing things I don't want to do. I'm done with crawling around under trucks in 10 degree weather. I never want to paint another wall or run another electrical circuit.
I've probably saved a lot of money over the years doing things myself. I've learned a lot and I used to get a lot of satisfaction out of it, but it took up a lot of time. I don't have a lot of time - I want to spend what I have left doing something creative instead of spending it maintaining the status quo.
