I feel the same way. My wife and I do splurge on things occasionally, but I've definitely started fixing more of our stuff myself. In general, I handle a lot of the housework and repairs, except for electrical issues and anything involving the roof, heights just aren't for me!
For me, it honestly feels great to clean or fix something and keep using it.

My dad is an electrician and if there's one thing I learned from him, "electrical work is NOT a hobby" and it has rung true! I generally stay away from the electrical work unless it's swapping out a light or an outlet. I won't run new wires and things like that because I've cleaned up so many disasters with him over the years, I learned lol.
It does feel awesome fixing things! There is such a mindset of disposable everything these days and it's a damn shame. We need to get back to fixing things, and I try to teach my son that as often as possible!
