"Last Word"-The Value of Mom

Thursday, May 08, 2008

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, as Mother's Day gets closer, it's impossible to put a dollar amount on how much your mom is worth. But one financial advisor says the job market value of a mother has increased to nearly $800,000. Ric Edelman's light-hearted study looks at all the jobs a mother does -- among them: psychologist, driver, chef, housekeeper, nurse, management analyst, recreation worker and financial manager. And Paul, over the past year, the Mother's Day index has increased by nearly $29,000. And just in case you forget, Mother's Day is on Sunday.

KANGAS: You never forget an investment that good Susie, no way.
