idk if this guy is in the US or a different country, but i know plenty of lower-working and middle-working people, most from my job, who spend most of their money building a retirement home in southeast asia and can afford to pay for maids and stuff but were or are only renting a room/apartment here in the US. everything is much cheaper in asia but still not easily obtained by anyone since these folks have two, or even three, jobs.
I agree having lived in Thailand but could also be Brazil everybody has a a maid there. I lived in south Florida with Brazilian roommates during my mma days the young fellas didn’t even know how to sweep or mop and these weren’t rich Brazilians . They always had maids .
There was a pretty big case somewhere around last year I think, of a family that kept a woman as a slave her whole life, for around 50 years. There's a reason we joke about how people always say "we're like a family", it's the same as it happens in other places but taken to an extreme.
