I have been thinking about what gift to buy my mother these days.
What gifts did you buy?
Hard cold cash - and alot of it. As an idea of how much just consider this:
"Average Cost of Raising a Child in America. The most recent available information says that the average cost of raising a child from birth to age 17 is $233,610 in a married two-parent middle income family with two children."
This doesn't include all the heart ache and grief your mom had to deal with - especially during your teen years.
So I would suggest a cool half million should make this all even.
