5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, December 12, 2000
By A Customer
I loved this book so informative. This book is for anyone feeling they dont feel they would be able to homeschool. It gives alot advice and how to live on one income, starting your own library, and information on college. It also gives alot of freebies or low cost alternatives. This book may be the one to convince my husband that homeschooling is the right choice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I'd Hoped, June 2, 2006
By J. OHAVER "johaver" (Abbeville, MS United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was hoping for a book full of inexpensive curriculum ideas, or resources that were new to me. Instead the book discusses family budgeting at length, and makes suggestions that seemed to be common-sense to me. There are a few ideas that may end up being useful, but be warned that much of the book is devoted to budgeting and other advice (buying things used, using the public library, etc.)or anecdotes from homeschool parents.
