Based on personal research, this is what Steven feels is the cost of everything his wife does:
National average weekly salary for a full-time nanny: $705, or $36,660 a year
Cleaning service: $50 to $100 per visit once a week, or $5,200 a year
Personal shopper (running errands like groceries, etc.): $65 per hour at 4 hours a week, or $13,520 a year
Chef: $240 a week, or $12,480 a year
Financial assistant (budgeting, paying the bills, etc.): $15 an hour at 5 hours a week, or $3,900 a year
Professional interactions (business dinners, etc.): $75 per hour at 4 hours per dinner 3 times a year, or $900 a year
Laundry: $25 a week, or $1,300 a year
i guess 'the internet' is a big dummy, then. the guy is using a financial analogy to describe how lucky he is to be with his wife.
I don't expect to get paid when I clean my room or the dishes...
Marry a mexican, you'll have plenty of money left.
I can "afford" a gorgeous wife like her !
