I cannot claim my wife and I have fully learned our lesson about when we should spend money to solve problems. Last night we stayed up until midnight assembling a new storage cabinet. The value of the time we spent, based on our combined salaries, was $362. For any amount less than or equal to that number, we should've hired someone to do it. And they probably wouldn't have made so many mistakes while doing it, either.
