[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't work quite your hours, but I leave the house at 7 to commute and get home at 5:30. I also work after hours for 2-3 hours once kids are in their beds. I am a teacher and make 90,000. My DH works at a college and makes 65,000.

With extra money, I would hire housekeeper to come three days a week for 2-3 hours. So bathrooms get done twice, kitchen each time, good maintenance cleaning and do laundry. It is hard to find a service that will do laundry and put it away but a private person would do it.

I would buy those healthy freezer meals - like eat local kind of things. Not Blue Apron but already prepared frozen. Have nanny put it in the oven at 4:45 and then it is ready at dinner. Open a container of salad and viola.

I would not outsource forms and such. Too much time teaching someone what you need. We don't have too much dry cleaning, but I know they deliver.

I already do grocery delivery.

Life is pretty doable being out of the house 7-5:30. dH gone 8:30-6:30. If we had an extra 600,000 life would be pretty great.[/quote]

Some perspective. Thank you, PP!![/quote]
