No, it shows that you dont really value your time. Why do something that could be performed for a relatively low cost and frees you to do things you really enjoy?

It's just a cultural thing I guess. Around 1989, I lost my job. Had a wife, stepson and infant daughter to support at the time. Applied for and received Unemployment for a couple of months until I got another job. Only govt "handout" I have ever accepted in my life and it still sticks in my craw to this day.

That's like saying social securtity and medicare are handouts.
For the record, I pay for a landscaper, car washes, and oil changes. These are all things I could do, but choose not to. I'm currently on the lookout for a trustworth and reliable housekeeper as well.

That's just not the way I see it. Those are different. By accepting govt help 3 decades ago, I was admitting I couldn't take of my family. I should have done something else.

I've never stated how old I am. Never will. It's why I mock you when you show the young dude sitting on the Dino statue. I never said that was me. Just some Google image I posted from years ago.
