Money

Yeah, it takes money to homeschool.  I purchase things as "needed" and don't have a budget.  It has been nice though I do have to rein myself in occasionally.  I've often wondered how we would continue to homeschool if money became tight.  A couple of years ago I thought that time had arrived, so I made sure we had the basics from Rod & Staff (Math, English, Science, and History).   Add in the library and our set of World Book encyclopedias and I hoped we would be able to do it.  Well, I think the time has come to test it out.  We had some unexpected bills and we need to start saving money for maintenance (house and vehicles).   I'm a little scared to tell you the truth.  Making your own plans is time consuming.
