to poor for a yard service
They’re not poor, they are financially responsible and smart. You’d be surprised how many people in their early 60’s that want to retire but can’t afford to since they spent all of that money for several years on lawn services instead of investing it.
Let’s say it’s $100 a month. Put that into a brokerage account and see what that would have turned into in 20-25 years. They could have probably retired in their late 50’s and definitely before 65.

Yea a guy's retirement hinges on him paying for someone to cut their lawn. He is going to retire 8 years earlier because he cut his own grass.

This is some of the silliest shite I’ve heard in a while

You still have to spend some money either way. I also remember my dad saying it was worth his while to spend an extra hour at work and pay someone vs doing himself. You should always outsource anything where cost of service < value of your time.
ETA: unless of course, you enjoy doing yard work

Time is money, son. I do well because I don’t piss away my day on time wasters like cutting grass.
