What he's basically saying is his time isnt worth $8 an hour. You cant on one hand boast about how much cash you're saving by ditching a phone and then be an independent webmaster who controls how much income they make and say its a sound investment to scrub your own pool. You pay someone to clean the pool and do what you do best. Unless you love cleaning your pool then have at it




That's what poor sad people say.
That is not at all what I'm saying. That's how you interpreted it. What I am saying is, the more you make, the lazier you get. You start paying for everything to be done, and no... you don't enjoy the time that the money buys you by hiring staff to clean pools and do the landscaping. You sit in your office and work even more during that time to make even more money. Then ten years later you emerge from your hole, a fat, pasty white pornster with a big bank account, but you've missed everything else along the way.

Yes, sometimes getting your hands dirty is part of living life. But if you get your satisfaction out of drinking a diet Coke and sitting on the sofa, then go for it man! Nobody is fucking stopping you in the least.
