We are finally taking the plunge. I am taking on yet another job so that our kids can go to private schools. We need vouchers now!

Skip the second job, quit the first and home school. Believe me, you can do it very successfully on a very small shoestring. Look into it. Your state probably has a great homeschool resource place that can get you started. You can also contact Home School Legal Defense Association to get a state contact.

Good Luck.

My wife gave up her $30/hr job. We got rid of the second car. We grew food in a big garden...canning,canning, canning. We homeschooled our kids. We saved more money by having one of us at home. My second job was as "teacher". The sacrifice was none; I had the best time of my life.

Please consider homeschooling: life is short, and if you know what I know, you wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to have such joy as teaching your kids brings.

Working two jobs will make you a stranger to your kids, and leave your other with a task that is best accomplished by two---and best accomplished by the dad when the kids are teenagers.

I know homeschooling is a scarey thought. Just give it a year, then go on if it works. It's better than money, and you can take it with you.
