I did the complete opposite.

I paid a company to buy furniture from IKEA that I selected, deliver it, assemble it and get rid of all the cardboards and waste. I just sat there for three hours and everything was done. Best money I spent.

I also did the same while moving to a new home. I paid the mover to do everything, dismantle beds and furniture, pack everything, then assemble everything in the new property. I didn't feel the pain of moving at all.

I get that sometimes saving money and learning something new like fixing cars is a good thing. But as a 45 years old, spending money to get peace of mind and reduce stress has become the priority for me now.
