I have reached the point in my career where it makes more financial sense to work more at my job and pay people to do my car/home/appliance repairs. I still prefer to do things myself, possibly to my detriment, because I like to know that if my income dries up I can still maintain my house and car.
I think I would feel much less secure if I lived as the article describes millennials.
In addition, there is no attention to detail anymore. We went to three different mechanics because my husband simply didn’t have the time to do the repairs. Each time the mechanics failed to notice significant issues, cobbed stuff and in once case, a mechanic actually BROKE a part that resulted in engine failure.
