Had a long talk about this recently with friends - people have different comfort levels with different "class" levels and what that says about us. It took me a long time to be comfortable with having a cleaner come by once every 2-3 weeks even though it made total sense both financially and relationship-wise (neither me or my fiancee are deep cleaners). Same sort of thing regarding hiring lawn people - even though they have better tools and can do it faster than I could. And a friend caught herself saying that she uses Amazon Fresh but that "she feels guilty about it". I think it's that we're all from strongly middle-class or working-class backgrounds.
