By your standards, I'm super poor, because I've painted my own apartment(s) plenty of times. Software engineer in LA.

- Swizec 11y agoThat was just an example. It depends. Maybe you value the relaxation of painting higher than having professionally painted walls. Maybe you don't value your time higher than what a professional in LA charges. Maybe you're just one of those people who would drive 5 minutes out of their way to save 10 cents on gas. (https://xkcd.com/951/ https://xkcd.com/951/) My point was in the general idea, not in the specifics of my examples. And it just felt more interesting to mention the wall painting bit rather than the bit about my mum shuffling money around various credit cards so we could afford groceries without having any cards canceled. shrug
