I know that feeling when you are ticking away your to-do list and the more you tick more your dopamine levels rise up. And the best feeling is when you are lying in bed and calculating how much you saved, just because you fixed something by yourself. And not only that, even if you try something for the first time, you will be happy with the result. No one else will put that much effort and time than yourself. On the other hand, I am concerned for the next generation. Youngsters nowadays are afraid to fix anything. DIY videos are like kryptonite to them. Well, with the house price trends, new owners won't even need to maintain by themselves, I guess. They will simply afford handyman if there will be any. MAybe I will be, at the age of 65. After all, why not ;)
Yep, n many don't want to do their own work preferring to leave it to others which means skills diminish. It'll be a big problem in times to come.
