I spend about $1,600 on cleaning services and childcare monthly and around $1,000 each quarter on a stylist. Paying for things like a housekeeper, childcare, and a stylist allows me to put more time into making more money. Cleaning the house would take hours for me, and doing laundry for four people can easily take four to five hours a week. That's when we started getting a nanny a few hours a week, twice a week. I also love the fact that I can go to my son's karate class three times a week with the extra help.
