For me there is more than just the money its about the things I get to do and the things I don't get to do. Cost can mean so many things, and I'm learning how to minimize those other costs by not letting them take over my life. According to MSNMoney the average cost of being a stay at home mom is $1 Million. When you leave the work place and become a stay at home mom you aren't just losing the income you were making you are also losing retirement savings, pension and other benefits.
I personally think this is crazy!! I mean until receintly I didn't even realize how redicalous baby clothes dipers and other baby stuff is. I got really lucky and got SOOO much stuff at baby showers that I haven't had to buy anything! Its amazing to me how easily that kind of stuff adds up. So i guess if I think about it $1 mill isn't really that far fetched.
really makes you think though, doesn't it....
