$50k, single income, with cleaning lady!

525k, two-income household, and no cleaning lady.

150k and no cleaning lady. It feels uncomfortable to have someone else clean my house even if I wanted to spend the money.

Keep telling yourself that.
I'll bet your DH won't allow it, even though you work. Sucks to be you!!!!!!

Oh, look, a teen acting like a preschooler!

Me too. Four kids. I fantasize about having a cleaning lady. Oh if only ...

Oh, my poor dear, you sound so disconnected from reality.

I never had a cleaning lady and probably never will. We are millionaires - which in our world is not saying much these days, but in the REAL world is rather a privileged status!

Most of my friends have cleaning help. But I don't feel the urge to do everything my friends do, you know.

I agree that it's a good time. As such, I'm willing to forfeit my own enjoyment in order to allow you to reap all the fun and pleasure of doing all my housework for me. You can come over on Saturday at 3pm

What thread was that?

Yeah, sounds like a blast.

We made around $160k last year and cannot afford a cleaning lady.

Hell no, I had one when I was single and making 50k.
