In the middle of winter, it can feel like all you do is WORK. There’s the job that you get paid for . . . and the job, at home, that you DON’T.
A new survey asked people to put a PRICE on all the chores they do . . . both around the house, and out running errands. And the average person says they value it at $134 a day.
That would be almost $2,000 per two-week pay-period . . . because chores do NOT stop on the weekends . . . and it would be almost $50K per year.
Does this seem high or low? If you do a LOT of work, you might feel like it’s undervaluing your time, but you also have to think about it from the other side:
How much would you PAY someone else to do all the chores that you normally do: Cooking . . . cleaning . . . driving the kids to school . . . making sure they get to practice . . . shopping for groceries . . . and so on.

(Idea? Pay family members a decent wage to handle these tasks . . . and then charge them for all the “rides” and errands that you run for them. No one will get rich, but it could promote more balance and appreciation.)
