doing it yourself in some days can be time-saving at times. Look into it! I wanted to cut my own hair a few times and it turned out pretty alright kek

>time-saving

That's it really, time is more precious than money

If you appreciate simple living and don't waste, you have more time and more freedom

What if I eat McDonald's every day? Expensive, maybe not so healthy. Maybe as a special thing sometimes.

Homemade meals made from grocery ingredients with love. Fishing, hunting, trapping, gardening, farmer's market.

That will taste better but will also save a lot of money as well, am grateful to have someone who can cook good food.

Don't have to spend that time grinding for those meals at a restaurant, can survive on less money, make a slower pace of living.

Caring more about relationships and people than material things, the time you have to be free and time you spend with the ones you love.

For example, housing is the biggest cost of any working person.

If you "DIY" or build your own house on land, you don't owe rent or mortgage to anyone.

I'm a carpenter and know many other carpenters, man that built his own house all utilities himself over six years.

That's a lot of time, six years, we put up new houses in like 1-3 months. But he's not paying rent or a mortgage, can hand that down to his kids.

You can build a traditional style house from the ground up in about a year or less, a modern modular kit home you can build in a few months or under half a year.

You can save a lot of money using Earth materials like adobe, cob, and similar building techniques. You can lay concrete, wood frame foundation, stone, however you choose.

Because it all comes down to labor, costs, and skill. When building anything. The big banks and real estate developers can pour tons of money into cranking out rows and rows of new build suburban houses that go up in 1-3 months. It's like a factory. Building a house yourself takes labor and time, not just the cost of tools and materials. Some hire contractors for specialized things like wiring the electrical system, laying a concrete foundation, things like that.

Some take out big loans to build and develop, which is what the developers are doing in hopes to make a profit. If you are building it yourself with savings as a working person, that is something else. Even if you can build a kit home in six months on a patch of dirt you own, you still need a place to live and to afford the kit, so some will park a trailer or just use their savings over time to build. These are the practical realities of taking the principle of DIY to the extreme and building your own home.

Anyways, that is the idea of all this "DIY" stuff in my part of the country, the people here call it "DIY" as well. It is to save money. DIY your haircuts, your whiskey, your tables, your fishing pole, your auto repairs, DIY your food in a garden, DIY your house, and so on. On a deeper level, it is about self-sustenance and independence, and the freedom that comes with that. As well as the stability and success that comes with living simply and working diligently and skillfully, like successful monasteries.
