Quick question,I may be stupid,but if a guy has to hire a maid to do the house work because the housewife doesn’t or can’t do the house work and doesn’t do anything but spend his money. Why get married? It’s cheaper just keeping the maid. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Depends on how much the maid is willing to do.

With a $250K gross income and assuming a nominal tax rate of 15% that's a net of around $212.5K and then state taxes, of any on top of that. Then another $20K for the maid and their net income is well under $200,000.

[@Lisa_The_Norwegian]

250k a year is a good paycheck, but a life of luxury for yourself, your wife and her parents. Not really. It’s about 21k a month, then you have to take away taxes, which I am guessing at that income is around 20-30%. So let’s say 25% you are left with about 15,6k. A good chunck, sure. But now you have to pay off a mortgage or rent, car payments, the maid they wanted, food, clothing. While it’s a very good paycheck, I wouldn’t think it was enough for the parents in law to drive expensive cars and never lift a finger again. If you have that salary it’s also really important to save some of it, because money can always go away in an instant and you need to have a plan b if that happens. So yeah, I expect this to not go as the mother here believes.
