Most of the homeschool families near me make like $40k a year. You just have to decide what’s important to you.

If it’s that cheap, why did you need to upheave your life to achieve it? Would love to see a cost breakdown of homeschooling.

Because you have to do it? So you have to make time, it’s not something you pay for besides opportunity cost. I probably paid $500 total for supplies

What do you mean you don’t pay for homeschooling?

Are you claiming that its not necessary to:

- hire a tutor/teacher

- buy important supplies like textbooks/sports/music/etc

- fund learning and recreational trips

Reading between the lines of your umpteen confusing comments in this thread, are you claiming that your partner gave up their paid job to tutor your kids for “free”? Is that the “opportunity cost”?
