What Are You Worth?

Here is an empowering exercise in futility...

I don't like to admit it, but I get a lot of my empowerment, self worth from my caree/job.  Now that I am a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) how much am I worth?

Here is what I am worth (according to indeed.com):

Personal Assistant to my husband:  $50K a year
Maid:  $28K
Chef:  $60K
Nutritionist:  $71K
Nanny:  $27K
Interior Designer:  $75K
Writer:  $74K
Seamstress/Quiltmaker:  $31K

Now, obviously in order to do all these things, I cannot do them all full time...so there are approx. 168hrs in a week...I sleep at least 6-8hrs a day - so that leaves about 119hrs to do other stuff...I spend about 3-5hrs a day eating and attending to personal needs...so that leaves about 91 hours to work...I probably work at least 80hrs a week. 

If I add all the above together it equals:  $416,000a year, divided by the number of jobs gives me an average annual worth of:  $52,000 a year...divided by the number of weeks in a year:  $1000 a week, divided by the number of hrs I work a week:  $12.5hr...interesting huh? 

To me this is VERY interesting because I think that I am worth more than that...but it is comforting to know that I am not worth $0 just because I don't get a pay check!
