The two currencies in life
That will get you anything you want
With most things, we have the option to pay for them or do them ourselves. We hear stories about how our grandparents did everything themselves — like building their houses, fixing their cars, etc. Not sure where they learned to do everything, as there were no places like Google or Youtube where they could look for help.
Times have changed. Today, you would need a bunch of different degrees and certifications to even legally be able to build a house by yourself. The culture and view on money&time have also changed. Nowadays, we spend more time working and buying most services (at least in bigger cities, where the culture is slightly different and services are available). We hire cleaners and carpenters, order food, get things delivered to our front door, etc. And why wouldn’t we? If we’re making $60/hour, why wouldn’t we pay $30/hour for someone else to clean your house while we focus on our own work? It makes sense financially. And it’s so easy, you basically just need to click a button on your phone.
