Should I do it myself?
While there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of saying you saved money by doing something yourself, the truth is that DIY projects are not always as easy and cheap as the internet makes them seem. Here are some factors to consider before tackling a project on your own:
- Do you have the necessary supplies and tools?
- Is it physically safe for you to do it yourself?
- Are the cost savings worth the time it takes to complete the project?
- Do you have the technical skills required? Or are you excited to learn a new skill?
- What is at risk if you accidentally make a mistake?
