Hiring a personal assistant, maid service, hiring people to do work for you directly, having a lawyer on retainer, that sort of thing. (Now I know why rich people are always threatening to sue.) Chartering jets, too.
My favorite Rich Guy solution: Throw away all your mismatched socks, buy all identical tube socks from Walmart, and never spend time pairing your socks again. This actually only costs like $30.
- nostrademons 16y agoYeah, a bunch of those are very much accessible to middle-class people. I think I stopped worrying about mismatched socks and just went all-white when I was around 6. A bunch of Googlers (even ordinary SWEs hired post-IPO) use maid services, because their time is worth more than the money it costs to hire them. A few even frequent outsourcing websites for personal-assistant sort of things like researching major purchases.
