DO IT YOURSELF!
Have you ever cut your own hair to save some money?

Du Ho Kim (Seoul, South Korea)
Do you do your own car repairs?
“Well, I can do routine things like putting oil in the car. But, to be honest, I make my brother fix most things. And if there is something seriously wrong with my car, I make my uncle take a look at it at his garage. He is a bit penny pincher and he doesn’t want to do any job for free. But I can make my uncle fix it pretty cheaply, since I’m his nephew. I also take the car in for service there once a year.”
Marcus Aldovar (Bogota, Colombia)
Do you decorate your own house?
“My wife and I are having a new house built right now, but we are going to do all the painting and decorating ourselves. We’ve done it before. My sister is an interior designer, so we will have her choose the colours and have her pick out our curtains, too. She has got a great taste.”
Martin and Jill Snow (Calgary, Canada)
Do you ever do your own repairs around the house?
“Not anymore! Once I tried fixing the dishwasher myself because I didn’t want to pay to have someone come and repair it. But I didn’t realize I had to turn off the water first .So I fixed the problem, but I flooded the entire apartment! Then, I had the water damage repaired and it cost a fortune!”
