For any baws that have lived in countries like India, Thailand, Philippines, etc. a maid who practically lives with you costs like $300 a month. She cooks for you, cleans for you, irons your shirts. Hell, you could probably get a French maid for an extra $100/mo.

Why can you not get maids that cheap in the US? Something to do with labor laws or something? We could really put all these illegals (or at least the younger, cute ones) to work.

Are you asking why areas with higher costs of living have to pay more for labor?

When I worked in Manila a few years ago an American I was working with who had lived there for years told me, "If you want to know about the economy here just keep in mind: everyone here either HAS a maid or IS a maid."

You’re designed to take care of your own shite. May have to put the video games and porn down tho and stop complaining about debt.

Congrats to on getting robbed.

Yeah third world countries only suck if you’re poor. Otherwise it’s a playground where you can do whatever you want. Would consider moving to Thailand (nice beaches) if a US remote job allowed it considering the timezone difference.

Have had the illegal for cheap maid before. They clean fine, but I didn’t like it and always was worried they would rob me blind.

We clean our own house now to save money, but if we do end up getting another we will likely get a service with legal workers.

Everyone has to earn a wage that they can retire on at 50 years old, haven’t you heard?

Why would they accept $300/month to clean up after some tornado family when they can go flip burgers for about 4x that at McDonalds and call it a day?

Started to laugh until I realized we're headed in that direction.
