Yes. This isn't the first time. It's gone up every single time.

BertoChavez

We pay $80 for 4 hours

JOPE

5/25/19 5:44pm

$20/hr is reasonable, especially if you are in CA

You expect someone to clean your house gor what would basically earn them 40K/yr

How many people pay someone to clean their houses? That seems strange, but it’s

Not just strange to you. Rich Cougarboarders are weird.

MasterLump

LiveCoug

I’m with you. I have six kids. That leaves me with only chores I actually like.

Iman23

My wife cleaned houses for people, to help me buy my first business. She earned what worked out to be $40/hour

5/25/19 6:57pm

Why can’t you clean your own house?

cougarfuzz
