What I’m Learning About Money

My thinking has changed considerably in the last couple of years about outsourcing and money in general. I used to find it very hard to pay someone to do things that I could do myself. As a matter of fact, I found it hard to spend money at all – even when it was something that I really needed. All my life I’ve been taught to be really tight with my money. But, an event changed my life and has since changed my whole way of thinking. Continue reading

Overcoming the Rat Race

I am trying my best to get out of the rat race. I don’t like trading time for money. One of the best books I think I’ve ever read was Robert Kiwosaki’s ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad‘.

Adventures in Homeschool

I don’t talk about homeschooling much. It can be such a controversial subject. It’s a battle I just don’t want to spend my time fighting. It works for us. It may not work for you. I believe everyone should have a choice. I don’t want to beat anyone up for their choice anymore than I want to be beat up for mine.

Occasionally, however, I feel the need to talk about what’s working for us and share what we’ve learned so that it might help someone else as they search for what really works for them.

We’ve been homeschooling for almost 17 years now – we started when Matthew was born in June of 1993. He learned to crawl and walk and talk and figure out how to get what he wants even when I may not want him to have it. Continue reading
