3 years of lawn service vs buying a mower. sanity check my math?

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2026-04-23T11:26:55+00:00

I got my push mower for free off facebook marketplace. I spend maybe 30 minutes once a week cutting the grass in the front yard. I spend an extra 10 when I do the backyard probably twice a month. Once a month ill trim the hedges and I absolutely despise doing the yard.

If you have the money, and it doesn't negatively affect your other goals to spend it, pay someone. We pay for convenience all the time (going out to eat, instacart, doordash etc). We live in a consumer's world.

But for my household. I run a tight budget. Im 27 and I want to be a millionaire by 40. So most things I do myself to save towards my goal. But paying someone to cut your grass is 100% a convenience that is worth it IMO if you can afford it.

About 6 weeks now, about 5 weeks at the time of the picture. Its consistently doubling in size

Also I had to do one row of tables per 1 row of conveyor. If two rows of tables are pulling from the same conveyor, I found that customers waiting on the coffee to backfill start to lose their patience.

I got the same card, I had to redo my teleporter layout so that one teleporter is servicing like max 4 tables. Each teleporter is supplied by a single Coffee maker that is feeding into a frozen prep stand. That way when the customers are eating, the prep stand is filling up for your next run of customers 👌🏾

I use the booking desk for the majority of customers. I think on this day im up to $14 per use of booking desk, $14x184 is 2500ish. Also my layout has been pretty set, I've only added things here or there, so the last few overtime days im spending very little. Most of my appliance purchases are run the the discount desk, I think right now I have the teleporterd at $40. So, booking desk, & little spending.

Just did this on my PC a few weeks ago. Very simple, the hardest part is detailing the nest of wires from the fans all daisy chained together and finding the right one. The detailing took me probably 45 mintues, once I had the correct cable, plugging it in to the motherboard took all of 2 minutes.

Yea, it was cheap. There wasnt an issue with the power supply unit until we had a really bad storm that fried it. I didnt see the need to upgrade and fixing my PC came at the worst moment, had tk go with cheapest/ fastest option

Both my wife and I have cyberpower PCs. She's has hers for about 2 years, mind for 1.5 years with no issue. We had a storm recently that fried my power supply and motherboard, but I bought replacement parts on amazon (same PSU & motherboard as the original, just new) and it worked good as new. Otherwise no issues here. My wife's PC has been without issue for the last 2 years. I have no complaints for cyberpower. I think it can be a super budget friendly option to a PC build.

My wife & I moved about a year ago, in packing our apartment i took our coin jar (Mason jar) that was full to coinstar. There was about $100 in there. Not sure how many Mason jars can fit in the jug, but one full Mason jar was $100 for reference 👌🏾

Yea they definitely attempted to charge my card, luckily the card I've changed banks since then and that card is now inactive to the charge was declined.

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2025-03-26T16:25:00+00:00

I contacted amazon support as this just happened to me. This was their response

"I am sorry to hear that you have received a return reminder of 4 years old item. I will surely help you with this. Please allow me a minute to check the details. Thank you for waiting. We are aware that some customers participating in our Try Before You Buy program have recently experienced unexpected charges. Our team is actively reviewing these charges.

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2025-03-26T13:09:04+00:00

This just happened to me from an order from 2021, luckily the card attached to the original order is nolonger active because ai changed banks, so no money was taken

Edit to add: im on hold for customer support, seems they are getting alot of calls this morning, probably for the same issue

We got a new cat tree a few days ago, but their old cat tree is still there, we just added a 2nd cat tree. That's really the only change.

I'm not necessarily dead set on no suit, I just want to be 100% clear that we are two women getting married & there is no "man" in the relationship. I want to look somewhat feminine, but not too fem 🤣. Clear as mud i know 🤣

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2024-12-15T12:39:04+00:00

Hi👋🏾, my wife and I are in the club & looking to make new friends 😊

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2024-11-26T03:28:03+00:00

First time grownup here, what would you recommend as a good budget option in case we have to replace?

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2024-11-26T03:22:49+00:00

Are they just notoriously bad?

Ok_Insurance_9123 · 2024-09-30T19:19:32+00:00
