I calculate things based off of a an easy little formula. How much time would it take at my job to pay for what I'm buying, and if it cost more in time for me to make it myself than in time for me pay for it to be done, then is it something I would also enjoy doing?

For example, lets say I made $10 an hour, a T-shirt cost $15. Materials to make the shirt cost $3, and it took two hours of my time, making my own is a $23 T-shirt, buying one is a $15 T-shirt, so unless I really enjoyed making my own shirt - I'm going to go and buy one.

Replacing the clutch on my car, well, I chose to do that myself, probably saved money. Building my own chassis for my RC monster truck, would of been cheaper in "time" to of bought one already designed and with the kinks worked out, but I wanted to make something with my hands, so even though I spent maybe "$40 more" given what I made at the time, I wanted to do it myself.

A lot of the doing will be done by those with motivated poor parents.
