The Cost of Not Being a Stay At Home Mom (Infographic)

November 1st, 2011

If you are a SAHM, you’ve no doubt probably run the numbers. Is it more cost effective for you to work in the “real world” to bring in a second income to the family? Or, could it actually make more sense for you to be a stay at home mom? For this calculation, you have to be able to analyze the cost of the services you are performing as a stay ah home mom. The infographic below does an excellent job of just that.

I think any mom can relate to the multiple hats and multiple responsibilities you have throughout the week including housekeeper, CEO, psychologist, facilities manager, computer operator, daycare teacher, and more! So, if you are feeling down, take a good look at this infographic and evaluate yourself properly. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that your job is not a “real job”! Value yourself properly moms. Your job is essential for the running of the family.

p.s. – The below analysis shows nothing about an income you can make at home. So, if you are a SAHM who has found a job working from home, then just add that income to the bottom line.
