I just called five local laundomats. The cheapest quote for laundry in Lansing is $1.25 a pound. I then weighed three bath towels (not sheets, towels) and two pairs of jeans, which would make a very small load by my standards. It weighed in at 8 lbs. That's $10 a load. I do 7 loads a week, times four weeks, $280 worth of laundry. It will probably take me the rest of the weekend to figure out a few other things...I'll allow minimum wage for the rest of the tasks (house cleaning, bookkeeping, meal preparation). I'll keep you posted on the running total.
That is incredible! I do two loads of laundry on an easy day, four on a day that includes ketchup, jelly, pizza, or horses. I'm worth ... billions! ... and that's not including my life insurance :-).
Oh, and I used to get $10 an hour for bookkeeping, longer ago than I care to mention. Should be at least $15/hr. by now. I'd figure the value of cleaning by getting a quote from a cleaning service on a full weekly job - that should only take a couple of phone calls ... just make sure their quote includes everything you do!
Sheesh........There are only 3 of us, I couldn't possibly afford that.
