[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barely anyone in my neighborhood cleans their own house or does their own yard work. It’s a sign that most households have two adults with full-time jobs and small kids. We prioritize paying for services like gutter cleaning and window washing so we have more time to attend our kids’ activities and pursue our own hobbies. I would guess it’s UMC to have that choice.

Everyone has their limit. My neighbor pays someone to come wash and detail his car in his driveway once a month and that seems crazy to me. [/quote]

Your expenses grow to fit the time restraints you place on it. You have to spend money on service providers because you're out making money. But a good chunk of that money you make will go to plug the holes that would spring a leak in your life, to pay the people who do the things that need to get done while you are gone making that money. These are all choices in life. The stay-at-home-parent doesn't make any money, but they are the landscaper, the gutter cleaner, the window washer, the restaurant chef, the nanny, the housecleaner, the well-researched shopper, the transportation manager, the Jiffy Lube visitor, the central scheduling desk and the contact point for the family all rolled into one person every day. The stay-at-home parent's job is not to make money it is to save a lot of money. Their "financial" contribution goes unseen because it is about saving instead of making, but it is there.

You can either make money or save your family money. Everyone picks one. It's a choice. Neither is wrong, just different. It's about how people want to spend their time, and what they value most.[/quote]
