Possibly when we are very young and looking for a life mate there are certain things one does /or should assess. Compatibility is pretty important actually. However I never thought about money worth, still don't. When I was going to school as a mature person though, and become an RN, I had an IQ and evaluation for Job compatibility. My IQ was great, just over 130, and the examiner said, what ever you are going to do, don't sit behind a desk all day, you will. hate it. Since I was going nursing everything was just fine.

I believe I have high value because my goal has always been to uplift people. People need encouragement and a smile from time to time and I take great pride in being the one to do that.

The value of a human's life stems from what it means to those around them - if others are dependent on them (as for a parent) to learn the art of living, to protect them while they are young and vulnerable, or if they teach an art, science or craft. If one is necessary to others, their value may be incalculable - even priceless. There is also value in those who teach others how not to be - bad examples - if others can learn without being injured.

Well, I suppose one probably would not exaggerate one's worth, well hopefully
Probably a latent sense of 'hope I am liked,' though not so much in Childhood.
Perhaps most of us realize if we are liked 90 percent that would be sweet.

There is no monetary amount one can place on the value of a human life. It is immeasurable. Good idea for your book.
