As for stuff like daily tasks, I don't mind wasting time to save a bit but I also am mindful of doing things at more optimal time. I wouldn't go to costco on a weekend but Tuesday at 5pm? Nearly 0 lineup for gas and sparse inside so I'll go then. Life is about enjoying it but not avoiding life. Even with 7.2 mill in the bank and living in aspen it'd be a sad day if you hire out someone to do all your cooking, cleaning, maintenance, yard, etc and you just exist without responsibility / small accomplishments. Sounds boring tbh.
(Not to be confused with saying eating out isn't fun, it is. But if it was every meal it'd be boring and remind me of work trips.)
