You've done the math on everything else. Grocery bills. Gas mileage. The cost of the good coffee versus the store brand. But have you ever done the math on yourself?

This week, we're putting a number on your caregiving — a real one, built from what more than 500 family caregivers told us about their days. It might make you feel seen. It might make you angry. It might do both at once.

We'll walk through where that number comes from, what it means when someone questions your worth, and why the title you should be using isn't "caregiver" — it's CEO.

Stick around for the number. Then decide what you're going to do with it.
