My wish –

I have always wanted to have domestic help in a few years when my parents grow older.  The ideal situation will be a middle-aged couple living in a separate living quarter on our property.  The wife will help with cooking, cleaning, taking care of children and my parents.  The hu*****and will help with gardening, driving the family around and other chores.  

My hu*****and doesn’t seem to be a fan of it.  He once said he never wanted to have a maid since he left home for college.  But I am sure he will be happy if he has a butler.

Budget wise, I guess it will cost me at least $5-8k a month including paying for their social security taxes and etc. 

I need to work harder and smarter to make more money!

What do you guys think?
