Salary.com has added up the monetary worth of a parent who stays at home to care for his or her child: $162,000. That’s $5,000 more that last year. If you are in that position (although not getting the money), you know the myriad of jobs being a stay-at-home parent entails. And next time you’re asked, “Do you work?” you should reply, “Yes. I earn $162,000 a year but I donate it all.”

What’s an American Worth?
Let’s look at value. There’s much controversy over the prisoner trade to get Bowe Bergdahl back home after spending five years in Taliban captivity. Of course, there would be less brouhaha if elections weren’t coming up.

The answer, obviously, is five, making a single American pretty valuable.
Take that, Taliban!
