+1 for that. Last year we started to pay for cleaning / washing / ironing and it saves a lot of time - like 6 hours a week to get all done. Also, doing groceries the right way is important. What we ended up doing: - everything non perishable or long time (water etc), buy a lot and put in the basement - what you can, buy through Amazon subscriptions for a regular delivery - once a week, do the short term groceries - veggies, fruits, meat. We do it with kids on a farm where you can harvest your own food. It's actually a great activity ! As the last one, maybe a bit controversial, but I almost never repair stuff anymore. If it's something cheap and I would need to spend an hour or two to repair it, I just throw out and buy a new one. I may would like to have more time to do those things (sometimes I still do when it's to show the kids something interesting), but overall this attitude is a huge time saver. At some point, if your earnings are enough, you just have to put time before money.
