Yeah but I can see how for people it is really difficult to not fall into the trap of just taking the easier route and not spending the time to do it the hard-er way.

But this really all boils down to a version of the "teach a man to fish" thing.

The problem is by not learning how to fish (think and solve problems is this example) you are at the mercy of others to do things for you.

One thing I can probably say with fair certainty is that if the shit hit the fan some of the people out there running the much aligned "lifestyle" businesses would be able to survive quite well simply because doing that requires you to have skills in many different areas as opposed to people who end up being totally reliant on info and help from others to get anywhere or get by.

I hate to have to rely on anyone else and try to learn how to do pretty much anything I can that I might have to repeat at some time in the future if I can find the time to do so. And find that fun.
