1) There is no such thing as a free lunch

2) and you can never hire someone to provide a service
for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

The first is true, and too often ignored. The 2nd not so much. Even if your just considering direct dollars and cents it can cost more in some cases to do something yourself (even if that won't be the case most of the time), if you consider indirect dollar costs (time that you can't use on a more productive purpose to make more money than the cost of this service), and non-financial costs than the claim isn't just wrong its silly.
