“Do it yourself? No thanks, I’ll get someone else to do it instead!”

In a consumerist culture, the idea of being proactive and taking charge never seems appealing. In many ways, it’s a waste of time and money and you can’t afford to lose either. Still, life is about more than keeping enough cash under the mattress for a rainy day. There are times when finances will dictate your whole life, but they are periods when you have to let go. That is just one advantage of DIY: letting loose.

And, it doesn’t stop there because doing it yourself can have a positive impact on your life across the board. Hanging art or putting up shelves may not appear significant, but that’s because you aren’t apart of the culture. Here are the reasons it’s important in life.

Money

Okay, so your finances are essential and you need to keep the cost of living to a minimum. That’s straightforward when it revolves around grocery shopping, but it gets harder when it comes to the house. First of all, no one wants to live in a property which is drab and tired. A house should be a home, and it needs love and attention for this to happen. Secondly, the itch is impossible to ignore once it gets in your head. People will say “just leave it” yet you can’t help but see a renovation in your dreams. Thankfully, DIY allows you to spruce up the property without spending a fortune. Just keep to painting and avoid the major jobs, such as knocking down walls. There are some tasks even DIY can’t do.

Job

Forget about saving money for a minute because everyone wants to make the green. Finding new revenue streams isn’t easy, and that is why people have limited sources of income. DIY can change your finances and your fortunes in one single swoop. How? It does it by providing you with a new skill for which you can charge a decent price. People in the local neighborhood don’t want to hire a fancy contractor and pay a small fortune for a touch-up job. What they do want to do is find a skillful handyman or woman and keep the costs as low as possible. Therein lays your niche and ability to make money moonlighting as a builder. Think of it like Superman who was a lowly reporter by day and a crime fighter by night.

Retirement

Now, your golden years may be a long way away at the moment. Still, it’s never too early to start thinking about the future. Remember that reduced mobility and age impact your ability to make money. But, a part-time job as a local DIY expert allows you to keep the money rolling in so that there is enough to go around. Also, there is the money factor. Because retirees don’t have a bottomless budget, they are always looking to save cash. DIY prevents the need to splash out when household problems arise. Finally, it gives pensioners a sense of meaning. Sitting around watching TV gets boring, and DIY is the perfect solution.

Parenting

Being a parent means that you aren’t the only one who will benefit from DIY. Moms and dads pass on their knowledge to their kids who can use it in their lives. The more you bestow on them, the easier it will be for them to find their path in life. Although it sounds corny, it is true. Lots of parents do this by saving money and passing on an inheritance, while others offer sage advice. Both are essential, but so are understanding a hobby laser cutter and pneumatic drill. For starters, your children will be able to cut costs, potentially make money and retire in peace. Just as essential is the fact that they will pass it on to their kids, who will do the same. It’s DIY through the ages, and it keeps the bloodline strong!

FAF

FAF stands for fun and fulfilling. Sometimes, people forget that life is about having fun and enjoying everything that comes their way. Yes, it sometimes gets difficult and feels as if the world is closing in, but they are few and far between. Usually, men, women and children are happy because they are doing something they love. DIY might be a small skill, but it brings purpose, passes the time and stops boredom. You need a leisure activity and DIY can be the ultimate hobby.
