Which (if any) of these tasks would you consider outsourcing to a financial professional if you had the opportunity?

I **** paying those bills…not because I can’t write a check (that’s easy) but because I don’t like to give the money away!
I have had the opportunity to hire others to do this…I won’t…you’ve gotta trust someone a whole lot to let them handle your money – as much as I **** to pay the bills, I’d **** to be embezzled from even more!

I generally love personal finance tasks, so this is like “what is your least favorite ice cream?” Here are my least favorites:
1. Budgeting – I don’t do it, my savings are automatically deducted and I spend the rest (I usually do have a lot left over, though).
2. Portfolio choices – Seeing those negative signs on your investments is tough.
I wouldn’t outsource anything to a financial planner; I know more about finances than most, though.
