[quote=Anonymous]Single mom, 150K. Occasional sitter to go to a play or other cultural event, get my hair cut, that kind of stuff. (And an occasional overnight work trip, but that's not what you're asking about.) But I do daily pick-up, dinner/evening routine on my own. No peapod, no cleaning service ... honestly, I think about a cleaning service every so often, but then I add up what I would pay them over a year and figure I would rather live with more dust bunnies and take a fun vacation. My indulgence for me is personal training, and my other big expense is private school. I figure I am happier when I am physically active, so that cuts down on other costs (e.g., shopping therapy, spontaneous eating out, mental health care), and one thing I just don't have is the time I decided I would need to put in at school if my kid were in DCPS. If I didn't have a tuition bill, I would be more willing to spend some money on a cleaning service and other time-savers/assistance, but I would rather invest that money (and more!) in DC's education.
