The woman said that as she was setting her budget for the year, she looked at everything they needed to cover for the housekeeper, making her rethink how she would have managed on her own in this rising economy.

"Just us helping her, we got a budget for it, so it a lot...and I just think that it so hard for the average South African to just live.
