I’m not sure where to start because I have a number of problems that need solving. They include:
1) Getting the house clean (and keeping it that way). I probably could afford $100 per month for that.
2) Finding homes for one dog and three cats. I found a home for one cat and paid his neutering and vaccination costs, so I would have to say I would pay about $200 per animal. If I don’t then they will be confiscated and sent to the pound where they will probably be killed.
3) Getting my bipolar son into a good training program that would work with his emotional problems and bring him up to speed in basic school subjects, but also teach him life skills plus a skill with which he could someday make a living. It would be nice if they could also convince him to take his meds on time and consistently. Most of the places that do this range between $3000 to $14,000 a month, but I can’t afford that.
4) Getting my husband off his butt and doing what little he can in order to slow his physical and mental deterioration. I probably can’t afford any service that could do this, either.
5) Making my daughter understand that letting me know where she is is not optional, and that if she doesn’t let me get her car inspected she ain’t gonna be driving it. I might pay $100 for that, but it wouldn’t be a permanent fix.
6) Doing a number of small repairs throughout the house and yard. I have the tools and the knowledge but not the time. I might pay between $5 and $10 an hour for that depending on the skill level of the person doing the work.
Of course, all of these things pale in comparison to @Jack79 ‘s problem.
