Devil,
cost of having a maid.
Levy - $170
Maid Salary ranging from $330-$350 for new maid, more for experience one.
Other expenses will be like food, necessities like shampoo, shower form, etc.
Upfront need to pay her loan for her first also. Ranging 2k to 3k
Insurance i think $200+, depending on the plan you choose. I think got 2 or 3 plans to choose from.
Prosper,
congratulation on being a SAHM!
Hazel,
the pricing of $39.90 is reasonable. Handmade stuffs should have a premium price. Not easy to handmade stuffs. Unfortunately, not many people in Singapore or should I say Asia appreciate handmade products. I myself is a crafter, I do scrapbooking. People sometimes do approach me to do up personalised notebook for them, but not willing to pay the price I quote. But put myself in their point of view, also true la, who wanna pay $10 for a notebook, so what is personalised one... haiz...
ABout the term protection, i'm looking into this also. I think most important is the hospitalisation plan and a term protection plan for them. The rest, like saving plan or life plan, the kids can buy on their own next time.
By the way, do you have msn?
Yup, set up an Etsy account first... you will sure get sellers from the US.
Gosh.. this thread is moving fast.. i can't catch up!
