I’m very lucky in that I make a decent salary, and have neither dependents nor debt. I’m also very lazy. 🙂 Currently I pay for house cleaning (every other week), a yard company (mowing and leaf removal), gutter cleaning, and quarterly pest control. I pay my dog’s daycare to handle her nail trims, brushouts, and baths. Nearly all of the car stuff is also outsourced: the only things I do myself are refill the gas tank, put air in the tires whenever the TPS says to, and sometimes vacuum/dust the interior (only because the car wash stopped offering interior vacuuming when the pandemic started). More often than not, I have my groceries delivered. And now that I’ve gotten a taste of paying a neighborhood kid to shovel my sidewalks, that might become a thing whenever we get more than ~1" of snow. My big wish, though – as others have mentioned – is to have a personal chef. I want someone who will shop for and prepare all of my meals, and make them both healthy and yummy while catering to my ~~pickiness~~ preferences (and post-op requirements). This is one of my “when I win the lottery” dreams. Thank y’all for the positive comments about my musical/weight loss updates. 🥰 Leftovers from the previous thread… > [@Where’s the new MMP.

I was starting to see job announcements with that as a requirement about the time I retired. I had other certifications like Facilities Management Professional from BOMI International, but am glad I didn’t have to do it all again for yet another piece of paper. When I was a tech writer there weren’t any certifications (though there are now); when I was a proposal manager, I got a cert from the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP). It’s been a while since I got that one, though, and I’ve been in project management for almost two years now, so I don’t mind the study/classes for one more piece of paper. This is likely to be it, though: if I change careers _again_, too bad…no more certs. 😉 > [@Where’s the new MMP.
