Energy Auditor

I keep forgetting to post this. I passed my test and now I can officially be an Energy Auditor. I am not quite sure what I intend to do with this new 'title' but we will see what the future holds. I have a new wealth of information to share with everyone!

SAHMs and Being Green

I was recently researching information about being a stay-at-home mom and the economic impact that it has on a family. I have heard many different statistics regarding the worth of a 'SAHM - stay-at-home mom.' As recent as 2007, msn.com reports:
"What's a mom worth?
According to one report, $138,095 a year.
That's the figure in a study put out by Salary.com , which calculates the wages that would have been paid a stay-at-home mom in 2007 if she were compensated for all the elements of her "job." That total was up 3% from 2006's salary of $134,121."
I am not surprised by this figure, although, my husband is. I made a list of all of my duties, AKA my job description and I think that by-and-large, the salary figure could be even higher. You are asking yourself, "why is she writing a post about this on her green blog?" I will tell you. It appears to me that being a SAHM and being green will save you even more 'green' thereby making the stay-at-home mom even more valuable! In future posts I intend to prove my point!
