Title: insourcing vs outsourcing
Post by: theonethatgotaway on February 17, 2015, 04:32:25 PM

Hi!

What daily tasks do you outsource due to cost/time benefit?

Example: I stopped doing laundry because I found a nearby place that will wash/fold/dry my clothes for .75 a pound. About $6 for a full bag of laundry- 2 or 3 loads.

I get my kids to load the dishwasher and take out the trash, and mow the lawn sometimes, too.   For $0.  Therefore worth it to me in terms of time and effort to train and remind them.
