#9 the choice is yours

For so many things in life there is a choice to be made between spending time and spending money.

You can cut your own grass (time) or hire a lawn service (money).
Clean your own bathrooms or hire a maid.
Trim your dog's nails or go to a groomer.
Cook your own meals or grab take out.
Hunt for clothing bargains or engage a personal shopper.
Paint your own nails or get a manicure.

The list goes on and on at work too.
Analyze numbers yourself or outsource to a consultant.
Create in-house development programs or hire a trainer.
Invest in teaching young talent or hire experience.
Do your own taxes or work with an accountant.
Place ads yourself or engage an agency.

Don't let habit make the choice for you.  Know what is more valuable to you in each situation -- your time or your money -- and then invest from there.
