big houses
When in college, I cleaned houses to pay my way though. It was not a bad job, or at least, not as bad as it sounds. It paid the bills though, and allowed me to see some really amazing places. Though there aren?t many perks when working as a maid, that is one of the biggest ones. I saw some of the best big houses in the city, and it seemed there was no end to them. Each was as great inside as the next, and some were very surprising. It?s amazing how some with money can hide out in a less than desirable neighborhood without giving away how much money they have, at least from the outside. You would never know.
One thing about working as a maid that bothers me is that I lost my will to clean now. It?s been a long time since I did it, but I swear I used up my cleaning allowance all in two years. I have always thought I wanted to have big houses, but now I?m not so sure. I have a hard time keeping up with what I have now, and if I had a big house, I think I would be overwhelmed. Though finances are okay, I can?t see myself hiring maids any time soon.
That is just one consideration someone has to think about when deciding if they want to look at big houses or not. Some don?t mind cleaning, and if they think they have the time for a big house cleaning all of the time, then perhaps that would not bother them. Some with larger families have no choice, but even then, they have more help in that department. Room is another consideration. There is nothing more wonderful than having room for all of your stuff.
Big houses cost more all the way around too. Heating and electric bills are higher, and so is the upkeep. If the big house needs to be painted, it just costs more in material and labor. More furniture is needed, and that means more things like sheets and towels. However, those things don?t bother some, and they love the fact that they live in a very large home. Though many wouldn?t consider this something to think about, it will be one thing I will ponder when we finally buy our own home. This might be one time when size does indeed matter.
