Cost / Benefit Analysis of Mowing My Own Lawn

I'm getting ready to cancel lawn service. I expect that will free up close to $450 per year.

Taken month to month that doesn't sound like a lot AND I will have to buy my own lawn equipment and invest the time to do it myself, but I've done a quick benefit / cost analysis and decided that lawn service is an easy target.

A couple of other factors that weighed in to my decision:
* I'm healthy and not too mention I have an able bodied teenage son! Isn't mowing the lawn a right of passage for teenagers anyway?
* My lawn isn't huge - it should take me no more than an hour and half once a week during peak growing season.
* I kind of like cutting the grass.

I've provided my quick analysis below for your review:
