We both believed that our kids should have their mom at home…but how we were going to make that happen was something we often disagreed about. My husband and I had been arguing about money for years, so going to one income was just another thing to add to the pile of issues we already had. Going from 7 years of two incomes and then suddenly dropping to one income…was an adjustment. Those have their place, but I want to share with you the four major tips that help us save the MOST amount of money every year and make it possible for us to live and homeschool on one income! 12 Tips to Homeschool on One Incomeīefore I was a stay-at-home mom, I was an Emergency Room RN for 7 years. I am not going to share money-saving tips that will save you a little bit here and a little bit there – like turning off lights, taking short showers, buying paper towels in bulk, etc. I have received similar questions through this blog, so I decided that I will do for you what I have always wanted – pull back the curtain and let you see how we make it work! One of my husband’s friends came right out and just asked one day because he was mystified about how he and his wife could manage on one income. Turns out that my husband and I are also living a “high end” lifestyle and we didn’t even recognize it! We are not rich by any means, but it would appear that people want to know how we manage to survive in today’s culture and economy on one income while I homeschool our three girls. How are they able to swing that kind of lifestyle? My nosy, type A, budgeting self wants to know these things! I have! I have been doing our family’s day to day finances forever, so when I see a friend doing something a bit pricey – I admit – I wonder what their budget and credit card bills look like for them to afford so many vacations, that amazing car, or that insanely expensive traveling sports team. Have you ever had the really nosy desire to look through someone’s finances to see how in the world they are able to afford the stuff they have?
