[quote=Anonymous]I think this is less about money and more about lifestyle and working status of parents.

We have a $2m+ HHI but I’m a sahm. I don’t want someone in the house all the time.

We have friends with similar, some higher, some lower with a ton of household help. Many of these households have dual incomes so they outsource as much as possible. Depending on the live in, the cost isn’t so high since housing can be deducted from pay. I know my friends who had live in Nannies and housekeepers often paid them less than  a full time nanny.

I had a neighbor with twins who had a staff of 6. She always had at least 2 Nannie’s at a time. Dad was always traveling internationally and mom was an investment banker. They had separate people to do different duties. I don’t know how much they earned. I’m sure a lot.

People with demanding jobs need more than full time help so live in covers them. Having a full time nanny and housekeeper isn’t uncommon or having 2 Nannie’s. I wouldn’t find a live in housekeeper any more impressive than just having a full time housekeeper.

I used to have a full time housekeeper and nanny but I was working then. We had a HHI of $800k then. Now it is higher but we have less help. This is probably due to Covid but I got used to it and like it just fine.[/quote]
