A man explains why he hired a cleaner instead of doing it himself: his time is worth more spent with his daughter, exercising, or having adventures. He argues that strategic investments can generate enough income to buy back these small freedoms, which add up to a dramatically better life.

This is why I am never going to clean my house literally ever again. To me, it is all about what's the highest and best use of my time, my energy, my brain space, and my money. And I've got to tell you right now, cleaning doesn't come into any single one of those that I want to be looking at. I sit there and I think about, okay, for the cost it takes me to hire a cleaner to come in and clean my place. How could I be investing that time in doing something which lights me up a lot more? Whether that is spending time with my daughter, whether that is doing something adventurous, whether that's going to the gym and taking care of my health. So what are the freedoms that you can set up along the way that you can actually start moving towards now? And then how can you earn that from your investments to be able to cover that? Those mini bits of freedom you can take back along the way, I can guarantee you will shift your life more than anything.
