One time I only had two pairs of pants, and that let me do the math. I was aghast at the price, but I have no choice.

We pay the dry cleaner about $75 a month and we pay $220 a month for a maid service at home, and we pay another company to do our yard work that runs another $100 per month. We also average about $400 per month on restaurants. I've kind of pondered if I could combine all of those at some point and hire a live-in maid, but I don't think that's enough.

Yep, that's how they get ya. Now that Obamacare has solved the nation's medical issues, they need to do something about the deceptive collusion and mystery pricing by the nation's dry cleaners.

Also, just admit to what you're REALLY thinking about regarding the live-in maid.
