PAUL, IT’S HARD TO PUT A MONETARY VALUE ON THE EFFORTS OF A MOM BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY PRICELESS RIGHT!?
Absolutely. Look at the life stories of most successfully, happy adults and you will find a great mother. And it is fun to play with what Salary.com calls, “the Mother’s Day Index” just to remind us how much our mother’s do for us day-in and day-out.
