Last year my lawn mower bit the dust at the end of the year. I ended up having to pay someone to mow-- strange, having no money to get a lawn mower. I just got paid, and was at a hardware store picking up some boards and chicken-wire to make a compost bin (another money saving thing) when I saw there was a sale on lawn-mowers. i got one that could mulch and also had a bag (for the compost bin). It was $150.00. There were a few cheaper lawn mowers, but this had some good features the less expensive ones did not have.
Time is also an issue. Since they will be taking my car away, I will not be able to drag around big lawn-mowers.
I own a house with a yard where I can be fined 100$ for grass that is too long, and weeds, so lawn work is not a luxury. Getting someone to mow would cost maybe $400-500 per year. I figure that the $150.00 is justified.
So why do I feel guilty. Because it is a new toy? Don't you just love new lawn tools?
