    When I lived in a low CoL country, it was pretty convenient to throw money at problems like home maintenance (repairs, cleaning, etc.) instead of doing it yourself. Doing that in a high CoL country isn’t feasible long term unless you’re rich enough.

      thats kinda how its supposed to work. people learn to do something well and you do the thing you are good at and hire someone to do the stuff you have not learned to do well. It still blows my mind the old tv shows with the milkman, mailman, tv repairman, phone repair man.
