We need two incomes. I can't work from home and homeschool.
It can be challenging to live on one income. The fear of losing income and incurring the costs of homeschooling sometimes feels like too big of a leap. You might be surprised to know that homeschooling can be done very economically.
Sometimes its just not possible for one parent to be at home full time. It takes some creative scheduling but homeschooling as a working parent is possible.
