RE: Homeschool ~ Personal Finance 101
This is totally awesome!!!
Love love love it!
Ours started working at the camp at 14 and have been saving half their paycheck each time for retirement. After tithe and travel fund, they have 20% to spend
They have been doing really well with it, and now pay for car insurance and cell phones so little by little they're kinda getting used to bills
Next year they will work for a year full time here to save for their next phase of schooling...
But I think it will be fun...everyone living in the house, working, traveling... Hehehe
No more school after May so that wrap will be ended, but still have them here for a year so we get to enjoy them a bit longer!!!!
Will.keep you updated on how things go! But so far....so awesome! Hehehe
How exciting!! I daydream a bit about what life will feel like when school is all wrapped up...it's a weird feeling!
It will be so nice to enjoy their company for a year. What kind of travel plans do you guys have?
It is SUCH a weird feeling!!!!
Been homeschooling since 1999...it's all we've known for over 20 years now!!!!
Crazy feeling hehehe
It will be the end of an era for sure
But you know what I love? That we are separating the graduation from the leaving by a year.
Cuz so often parents can't properly celebrate that graduation enough because their kids leave right away so it's such mixed emotions
But we will be able to totally celebrate the graduation and still enjoy them here
Well I guess that's cuz we have such awesome relationships with them hahaha
Maybe some parents are like byeeeeee!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Well we are traveling to Florida for their graduation first.
That's a 10 day trip
Then we think we want to do a girls trip (traveling to Europe) and a boys trip (big deep sea fishing trip)
Followed by a little 4 day cruise for us to get back together and just relax and tell about our adventure to each other! Hehehe
That's for starters :)
I think you're right about the mixed emotions! I will definitley think about that in the future. It's such a big time to celebrate all of that hard work, and it would be great to not mix it with sadness haha.
Those are some amazing trips! If I can ever get the hubs on a plane, maybe we'll get to Europe too!
