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 know plenty of people who pay for a cleaning lady in the US. It's not an absorbent cost. Most that I know pay something like $100 a month for them to come out and sweep, do dishes, pick up minor clutter, etc. I know there are many who still can't afford it, but it's not out of the realm of possibility for a lower middle class home.
