So today, I hired a dude (my age) to mow and edge my property. He's a single dad recently rewarded custody of his daughter, and he's looking to make some money on weekends to provide for her. He does good work and offered a fair price to come by every two weeks.

Regardless of circumstance, it's strange to be in a position where I'm paying other people to maintain my property.

Adulting is weird.

The alternative is to mow your own lawn. Shut up and be thankful you can employ others to do it for you. Mowing sucks balls.
