Roughly ten years ago (March 2009), I invested $200 in the
S&P 500 and then took a nap. Today that $200 has grown
to ~$750.. .and I never broke a sweat or got my hands dirty.

I've heard _every_ excuse there is from my own grandkids for why
they can't do their chores, where the simple fact is that _none_ of
the excuses stand scrutiny to even the most basic of logic.

o The real reason you don't DIY isn't the "investment" opportunities, but,
o The real reason you don't DIY is simply that you don't like the DIY.

I do in fact love DIY and designed and built my own fancy passive
solar house from scratch on a bare block of land, unlike you.

The difference is that I am selective about what I DIY and
am not actually stupid enough to waste my time doing
stuff like static balancing my wheels when I can get a
much better result for free from an operation that has
the equipment that it makes no sense for me to buy.

And made an immense amount of money
on the stock market as well, DIYing that too.
