A stay-at-home mom is a working mom.

Based on an analysis by salary.com, the annual salary of a stay-at-home mom post-pandemic was $184,820. Unfortunately, the reality is that no matter how much these figures have risen over time, stay-at-home moms do not see a single cent of this salary. Before you become someone else’s caretaker, set money aside for the sole reason to have it as a cushion for when and if you decide to leave the workforce to care for others.
