Being an adult is a PAIN

So I got this really heavy wooden base leather sofa two seater, but it's really heavy, I don't think me and a male friend will be able to cope, two guys yes, they'd have to be very strong, but me and a guy I don't think we have the man power😂
My council is saying I can pay £30 for removal, which is fair but it's cutting into my budget of decorating, which I didn't think I had to pay.
If he calls his friend, he wants payment too, which I argue with, goshhh I hate being an adult why do I have to dip into my funds to remove a sofa that wasn't even mine, was left by previous owner.
I hate being a single woman alone, life is much harder

Do u think I should cheap it and still try with my friend, though it could be dangerous, we have a lift luckily, but getting it there is still dangerous, I could lose a toe or a nail and I always got compliments on how pretty my feet are😊and we don't have steel toe boots?
Risk it or just pay the money? I'm so maddd😠
