[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 646292, member: 14557"] Ach, I'm jealous of those prices. Around here home cleaning is about 50-60 bucks an hour. With your kind of prices I could maybe explain myself why I would need to hire someone to help (I do hate cleaning.) Or maybe not. I would end up cleaning myself before the cleaner would come (how could I let a stranger to my dirty home? ;)) and it would be socially unacceptable anyway. We only use cleaning services for elderly or disabled, for rest of us it would be a sign of laziness, lack of practical skills (cardinal sin in my neck of woods), wasting money and being a show off. Our economists try to tell us we are being silly and we should do just that and pay for services instead of cleaning ourselves, painting our own walls and houses, doing our own garden work, doing all the small and moderate house repairs ourselves, trying to fix our own cars (and moaning when it is not possible anymore with newer cars), cut our own hair and so on and gathering all the friends and relatives to help when moving instead of hiring moving company and so on. That would be good for our economy and help the service sector and create lots of employment especially for those who don't have skills that are marketable in our current economy. And we all nod and agree that it sounds smart and people should use more services: And then in the next chance absolutely decline of paying for something we can do ourselves :D [/QUOTE]
