Do you contract out work that you could do yourself? I usually have someone manicure and pedicure my nails I hire folks to clean my house and garden. It's not real hippie, but I can say that I'm spreading the wealth.
No, I'm a do-it-yourself type of person, as is my husband, unless it's something that we simply can't handle on our own. There's a lot of satisfaction that goes into doing something yourself and doing a good job at it.
