Anyone else budge on items that arent necessarily a necessity? Im thinking about hiring a cleaner for my home and honestly hate to spend that money but between my job working long days and my husbands work it gets so difficult keeping up with it all. My kids help a bit but theres just things that arent quite clean.

If you can fit it in your budget and it'll make your life easier then go for it! If I worked full time I would have a cleaner with no hesitation. Time is precious, spend it with your family not cleaning ☺️

I do, and for my sanity and piece of mind, it’s well worth it to me. I’d rather give up mani and pedi, but that’s just me! ♀️

Everyone who I've talked to who have a cleaner do not regret it! I'm working towards getting one, but I need to get the amount of stuff we have to a manageable amount.

I budget $18 a month, for a FabFitFun box every 3 months. I adore it. Budget for things that work for you and your family, and what makes life easier and better. :)

Hiring a housekeeper was the BEST decision I ever made. Mine comes twice a month. It is seriously worth a budget cut in other places. It’s necessary for mine and my families peace. Lol

That’s my goal by end of 2021! Paying off debt and getting someone to clean 2X a month!

Instead of every 2 weeks, hire cleaners for every 4-6 weeks. If you can pick up in between visits then they will get the grimy stuff.
