Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

Me too, but I feel the same way about women who never learn these basic life skills. I make allowances for differences in lifestyle, of course re: things like car maintenance, child care, etc., but everyone wears clothes and eats food, so basic cooking and cleaning skills are a must.

I also look down on people who can't judge when they should go to a professional and when they should just DIY, so they hire a professional for every little thing. I get that some things just aren't worth your time, even if you can do them yourself, and one perk of having plenty of money is being able to outsource stuff you don't feel like doing, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people like my friend who thought she wasn't heating healthy enough so she up and made an appointment to consult with a nutritionist. She had no specific dietary issues and wasn't told to go by her doctor. I applaud her desire to improve her diet, but I would have started with Google and the library and then, if I still had questions, moved on to talking to my doctor during my next regular checkup before I ever walked into a nutritionist's office. Then there's my co-workers who make fun of me for doing my own tax returns and keep insisting I'd save so much money if I got a professional to do it. My taxes are incredibly simple and the one time I did go to a tax preparer, she really didn't do anything different than I'd been doing already. Also, the fee was in no way worth the time savings. It only takes me about half an hour to do my taxes once I have all of the documents assembled. Unless you are going to do my taxes for, like, $10, it is not worth it.
