SPEND TO GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK

How many hours have you spent mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, or running errands? You've worked all week and find yourself working through the weekend. No wonder you're exhausted on Monday.

Use the money to pay for help around the house.

Instead of spending four hours mowing the lawn, pay someone $50 to do it for you. You now have four hours to sleep and exercise.

My sister Janice has a career in legal and compliance. Her work duties and three daughters keep her quite busy. My sister gets groceries delivered because shopping can be stressful. “I'm willing to pay for the service,” she said. Janice shared she saves money because the kids aren't asking to buy stuff or place items in the cart.

But the biggest benefit, she says, “is the time savings.” She doesn't have to get the kids ready, drive to the store, and shop the aisles. The extra minutes saved allow her to sit still, close her eyes for a bit, and just relax. And she often finds herself walking around the neighborhood. It's done wonders for her health, she said.

Paying for services and help can be worth the expense.

Here's a calculation to figure it out: take your hourly pay (or divide your salary by 2,080 to get your hourly rate) and compare that to the cost of hiring help. If you're making $25 per hour, and it costs $15 for a delivery charge that saves you two hours, the math works out to saving time and money.
