"Nobody really needs to build a shed or fix a car themselves anymore." It's true until it's not. Many well-off people were trying to cut all kinds of costs after their pay got cut or jobs lost during the Great Recession. Quite a few people down here were saving money hunting deer, raising chickens, fixing their own cars/homes, etc. Some of these skills can be good to have just in case.
