33. It takes discipline

My wife quit her job as an RN to stay home with our children - we decided to homeschool them when they were pre-school age. We just have to be disciplined and stick to the budget each month and it works fine. Like others have said, limiting the eating out and other "frivolous" expenses and it can work.

Advantages - spending more time as a family (I am fortunate to be able to work from home), less debt, less hectic scheduling

Disadvantages - no new car or TV or whatnot, no big vacations

Advice - stick with it if you like it - but do not be ashamed to go to work again if that is your choice
