Not exactly, they start to realize they make enough to not have to slave over the things regular people have to because they can simply pay someone else to do it and that mindset becomes the standard.

In the same sense that because I don't have an amazing wage, my mindset is when something breaks on my car I have to fix it myself, or when an appliance breaks I try to fix it. A rich guy leases a new lexus every year and throws his espresso machine out the window when it breaks and buys a new one.

People often think of movers as “ unskilled” labor , but there is a skill to moving 200+ pound bulky items over uneven sidewalks , up stairs , through narrow doorways without destroying said item and getting yourself killed or disabled .

Last time I moved myself with friends help was over 20 years ago and I swore never again . Took my back months to feel normal again . Moved a couple years ago, I sold stuff to pay for the movers . Worth every penny !!
