I’ll admit it. I’m cheap. So to ask what I would pay someone else to do in my place is kind of a hard one. There are plenty of things I don’t like to do—dusting, vacuuming, spring cleaning, cleaning the bathroom (notice a theme here?)—but would I actually pay someone money to do them for me? Hmm. Maybe. It’s all relative. How much are we talking here?
When I lived in Virginia, years ago, I paid a woman I know $25/day to come in every two weeks and do the things I listed above, except spring cleaning. She spent 2-3 hours and when I came home, it was heaven! To get the same service now I’d have to pay three times that amount. I’m not sure $75/day would feel like heaven or hell. Sure, the house would be clean but… $75!! There’s a limit to how much I’m willing to give up for a clean house!
What I would pay someone else to do for me—and I do pay for—is take 
care of the lawn. I spent m childhood mowing the grass, but I sure don’t want to do it now. We have a postage-size lawn area, but it’s still worth it to pay a young man to fertilize, trim and mow the grass. Now there is less chance of meeting up with a snake, being injured by a stray rock, or getting sunburned on my neck. Win-win all around!
Yes, I am cheap, but even I have my dreams. And I will pay for them! 😉
