[quote=Anonymous]OP valued SAHM services at about $100,000. I agree with earlier posters that the actual value is much less. I'm a SAHM of 3 school-aged kids and I don't even carry life insurance because the financial cost of having the kids go to after-care is so low. IMHO, the minimum HHI in which it makes sense for someone to stay at home is about $400k or more in the case where the partner staying home is highly educated. At least, that was my threshold, along with 3 kids. (It wasn't like my spouse started making that number and I just quit. It was a much slower process where I slowly started cutting back my work hours and taking on more of the household work -- almost without noticing. I had become the "default parent" and a very stressed out one at that.) [/quote]
