What are you worth?
Today, I was watching an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and there was a debate as to who was worth more – the home maker or the husband who brings home the paycheck?
Now, I am sure we have all thought about this before, even if both are working and bringing home the dough. How do we place a value on who is worth more to a household? Is it solely by the number of zeros in the paycheck? What about all the non-tangible stuff like love, care, nurture, effort etc? How do we place a number to that?
If all one does is just bring home the money but does not pour sufficient attention and time into the family, is this person worth more than the home maker who does not physically earn any money, but provides all the love and warmth to a household?
I guess at the end of the day, all members of a household do carry a value, no matter if they bring home physical money or not. We just have to appreciate each other and be thankful we have another day to count our worth and blessings. Don’t you think so?
