10 years ago, a task could've taken me an hour. Since I was learning, I probably charged $15 an hour to do it. Today, that same task might take me 5 minutes to do and I'll charge $50 to do it. Why? 10 years ago I was learning how to do it. Today, I know how to do it ;) I could spend time watching a YouTube video for how to install a bathroom sink. It would probably take me 2 to 5 hours to complete the task. However, I have a handyman who I hire and it takes him about an hour to do it and he might charge me $150 for the installation. 2 to 5 hours and I might do it wrong. Or $150 for my guy to do it in about an hour? You pay for the professionalism and the expertise.
