Homeschooling on a Shoestring Budget

When I first started homeschooling program, I read every details of information I could find on the subject. Granted, back then there was not the plethora of information there is today, but there was still enough to overwhelm me. I recall reading that good homeschool families spent as much per year on their curriculum as a private school family would spend in tuition. I knew our overall budget would not be able to do that.

For the first couple of years, I found a simple curriculum that did not cost much money, relatively speaking. By our third year of homeschooling, though, our overall financial situation changed. Looking at our single-income-civil-servant-budget, I understood that we just did not have the money to buy anything. I realized that if God had called me to homeschool, He would also have to provide what was needed for me to homeschool.

While I was thinking He would provide the money to buy all of the glitzy, cool homeschool curriculum, it turns out that He provided the creativity I would need so I do not have to buy it. God does have a way of showing me that my plans are not exactly His!

See how you can have a successful home schooling programs up and running in no time!
