You can be a rich SAHM with a nanny just to give a hand.  That is what I would love!! [/quote]

I am a rich SAHM with a trust-fund from my biological maternal grandmother, and I outsource as much as I can (except childcare) for three households - ours, ILs and parents. ILs and parents live close to us and we want them to be able to spend quality family time with us, take care of their health and not be stressed about doing routine stuff in their homes.  We have put in place a cleaning service, yard maintenance, handyman, cooking/prep person, yoga instructor and a masseuse for our parents.  They are pretty healthy and active people, financially stable, fiscally responsible,  who are retired and maybe do not need all the help that we give them now, but, we want to make sure that we have thought through everything that can make their lives easier and healthier so that they spend more time with us and our kids.   I think services that buys you more time with your family is a great use of money.  For our income, we are pretty average materially (homes, cars, clothes). Our money is spent on less visible things like - organic food, vacations, hobbies, staffing.  In another 10-15 years, if we see the need we will also hire a part-time chauffeur/attendant for them.
