That depends on how much time and how much money one has, doesn't it?

I suppose that time quickly becomes the more limited and precious of the two so the more money available the less time you're probably willing to spend solving problems yourself unless you think it is critical for you to be involved.

So by this logic, the less money available the more time you're probably willing (or need) to spend solving problems ?

That's how it tends to work, doesn't it? People DIY to save money for instance, it can be a choice but if you're skint then it is a necessity. Or, you're bootstrapping your business and you do about everything yourself because you have no money to hire.

And if there is no money and time required is prohibitive then it does not get solved at all.
