It doesn't get any easier. But (I strongly believe this) it's better than paying someone. Doing it yourself might be tough, but it makes you stronger. I'm firmly opposed to paying someone to do something I can do myself - that goes for car repairs, home repairs, fixing stuff in general, building computers, web sites, you-name-it. I like keeping my money thanks.

What good is knowledge/experience/strength gained unless you can use it to realize some benefit (i.e. saving money) by it? If you're just going to pay people to deal with every obstacle in life, why bother learning anything?

Next time I move, I'm taking one, UNO car-load of stuff. Clothes, a laptop and a mountain bike. Possibly my tools. That's it. Everything else stays and gets rolled into the cost of selling the place. I ain't dealing with it again. Everything else is expendable and it's an excuse for new furniture, whatever at the new place. I doubt I'll even take my 911 honestly. I'm sick of being beholden to the crap we own.
