Re: maid/gardener
People do have maids in USA. Its not that uncommon and you dont have to be very rich. There are many families I know where the cleaning lady comes 2-3 times a week for 3-4 hours. Its like 10 dollars an hour or so.
People also have landscaping services, quite common here. Many people with big front or back yards have someone comes every 15 days to cut their grass. That is also not expensive, around 50 dollars a trip.
