Part of this is reprioritization as you get older. The old saying: When I was young I had time but no money. Now that I am old I have money but no time. Like you, I did a lot myself when I was young/poor, pinched pennies etc. It got me to the point where I was successful. Now that I am older I value the things I am running out of time to do. So the money is well spent on maximizing my time left.
