[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I realize that there are two economies. One for the rich and one for the much less rich. Living in DC area is very expensive. So... 2x week housekeeper probably too much. Eating out a lot: we did that. A sanity saver. Cars: we drove new until they died Vacations: we did it: you only live once. As we lost family members yes this is true. $10-20K easily. Clothes: this is where the rich and poor divide. We spent much less on clothes and especially children’s clothes. Just bags and bags and bags of them donated on a $2000/yr budget. Children: daycare, preschool, babysitter, private for one, college. Low estimate : $2M per child over their 20 years. [b]As for the joy of cleaning: LOL it makes my housekeeper very happy to have a job. She’s not suffering. I don’t get joy from washing produce but to each their own.[/b] [/quote] I want to know where rich people buy this nasty produce that requires so much washing that you need hired help to do it for you. Also, I don’t want anybody touching my fruit. When is the last time your housekeeper washed her hands? Who knows?[/quote] Yea right? We all know the poors lack personal hygiene. They are so...so...how shall I say? Dirty. This is why I don't go out to eat. I hate when poor people handle my food. Gross.[/quote] Exactly. Never order anything the wait staff touches. Yuck![/quote] The poor are so gross I grow my own food, plus it s saves money. Grocery shopping is such a waste of time and money. [/quote]
