Homeschooling and Finances... I'm lost - Page 3

[mich]

I do understand the desire to homeschool despite financial crisis. We had a money meltdown in 2008, thought we would have to sell our house, lost all our savings just trying to keep afloat. But we decided we would continue to homeschool instead of me taking on a job. We made it through by the skin of our teeth, we have debt to pay off and are in rough shape financially.

But I have to agree with Frugalmama, one hospital stay could bankrupt you.  We had health insurance, we were lucky. But I think, personally, that would be a  deal breaker.

I would only work if dh were home to watch the kids while I was working. I stopped working after it was an issue for employers when I took off for a sick child.I had no choice since dh is gone.It became such a worry and hassle.

With your degree you could also work for an online charter school.
