What kind of person is golfing, installing a boat dock, having landscaping outsourced or doing all three? There's a reason some of these things get passes before other things. I think it's good to keep as many things running as possible, but to completely dismiss the nature of some of these decisions is just being naive. You can't just sit in your house or walk around the neighborhood. I think it's fine for people to go outside and get some fresh air. If you have to hire someone for landscaping I really don't see the downside.
