Just throwing these ideas out there for you folks to dissect...i realize they may not be for everyone or they have to be at the right place and right time but nonetheless...
1. Buy/sell your own home. Save on realtors' commissions. I think there are enough resources out there to make this a go for most folks.
2. Move-it-yourself (rent a truck if necessary). Great exercise and you are in control of your own stuff.
3. Prepare your own taxes. Software and online tools have never made this any easier.
4. Cleaning services. Another good exercise and an opportunity to get the kids involved.
5. Various small home projects i.e. painting, landscaping etc
There are certain things that I would not attempt to DIY just to save a few bucks. Car services, dry cleaning your suits, bigger home projects etc come to mind.
What are your thoughts ? Anything you can DIY in place of the *professionals* ?
