Some of the expenses incurred by couples like the Joneses may seem lavish -- such as $5,000 on a housecleaner, a $1,200 annual tab for dry cleaning and $4,000 on kids' activities. But when both parents are working, it is impossible for them to maintain the home, care for the children and dress for their professional jobs without a big outlay.

How do couples with two parents who both work professional jobs but have a total household income of "only" $100k cope, then? Somehow I think those families manage to get by just fine without a $5000/year housecleaner.
