Over all it cost us about $300 a month to have our laundy and house taken care of by someone else. I know alot of us are on very tight budgets. For me it was definately worth giving up other things- like eating out, movies, I even took our cable down to the most basic package, I lay in bed clipping coupons, basically be as much of a cheap-skate as I can to make room in our budget. I don't miss the things either, I never had the energy to enjoy them anyways. Being in a (relatively)clean house takes so much stress away. You can alter this too- just have someone come during those periods when you absolutely can't keep up to keep things from piling up- or only have someone else do your laundry when you can't.
I get to feeling overwhelmed when it stacks up adding to my stress- making me more tired. Also you don't get that feeling of guilt you do when asking a loved one to help with the chores- when you pay someone you don't feel you owe anyone anything.
Hope this helps.
