Finance Friday - Stay At Home Vs. Work

I ran across this really interesting blog post the other day on Money Help For Christians entitled "Stay At Home Mom Math Analysis - What’s a Paycheck Worth?" It gives a sample chart of how much a parent would really make if they worked outside the home rather than stayed home with their kids. It's a pretty eye-opening chart when you look at the numbers. I've never seen it truly laid out in numbers quite so plainly, so it was pretty neat to see. My wife stays home, and I always think in the back of my mind about the "what ifs" if she went back to work, so it's "good" to see that we've made the right choice (financially speaking) to have her stay home (Thanks for all you do babe! I know it's more work than any job would ever be! I appreciate you!). Check it out and see where your family stands on the chart.
