What are you OK paying for someone to do now that you used to insist doing yourself

$5.00 for an HJ

Flower beds

I'll pay someone to come clean my place once a quarter or so. I keep my place tidy, but they'll come clean the blinds, dust everything good, etc for like $35 so it's worth it a couple times a year.

I’ve moved several times by myself and contemplated suicide throughout the process of every single one of them

Trying to decide if it's worth paying to move just one bedroom worth of stuff.

That vs renting a truck and trying to do everything on my own.

We prefer doing most things ourselves however we've accumulated a lot of stuff in our lives and also have a home business with inventory. Moving is quite the monumental task at this point. So, I rent two 26' Uhauls for the move. At my day job we have 300+ manufacturing personnel (Texicans) that are always looking to make extra money. I get eight of those guys and they can knock out a house with a quickness. Takes about 6 total truck loads. They're inexpensive great help.

It took me 15 years of being stubborn to realize that paying someone $25 to change my oil was a pretty damn good deal.

change the oil in the car, a complete tune up, shite like that
