[quote=Anonymous]We are DCUM "middle class" and outsource house cleaning (every two weeks), dog walking when one of us is on work travel and occasional landscaping (maybe 2-3 times a year). We also have hired a handyman but for smaller projects here and there.

I badly want to outsource laundry, but I am picky about taking care of clothing, stains, air drying etc and feel like it would be too much work to sort out the items I want to take care of myself.

As for home organization - I am in the same boat, OP.  We have a ton of STUFF and just don't know what to do with it and I spend a lot of my weekend time trying to make it work. We got a quote for $2000 to organize our big family room/playroom area and I just couldn't stomach it.  DH and I agreed to take a few days off work and to tackle it together while the kids are in school/daycare.

Other outsourcing we are going to try to build into the budget:
-stylist (the kind that go through your wardrobe and recommend ways to wear what you have...I will buy a few new pieces, but trying not to buy too much)
-meal prep/home cook or a meal delivery service
-mothers helper or au pair
-grocery delivery (we prefer to shop in person, but somethings gotta give!)
