In order to homeschool our children, we moved to a lower cost of living state that was also more homeschool friendly. My wife retired from corporate life almost 20 years ago. We drive old cars, live in a smallish house, and don't vacation in Europe.
Where there's a will there's a way.
Most of those arguments are disingenuous.
We’re already in a homeschool friendly state with a fair cost of living.
What would you have done if your wife would not have retired? If your spouse wouldn’t commit to homeschool, would you have divorced her?
What would you have done if your wife would not accept a lower standard of living to allow you or her to homeschool? Would you have divorced her?
To argue that you made a wise choice by marrying someone who would commit to homeschooling is also disingenuous, so I don’t want to see that response. You cannot predict what your spouse will do no matter what has been agreed upon in the beginning.
