>>Wow! How did you manage your situation so none of
the adults in the family have to leave the home in
order to earn the income needed to support the
family?>>

Several years ago my dh wrote some software as a hobby
while he taught himself how to trade futures &
options. He turned his hobby into his own business.
We saved up so he could quit his job to try and make
it work. We decided we could survive 3 years on our
savings if we had to. He quit about a year & a half
ago and business is growing. People subscribe to his
website on a monthly or yearly basis. He works from
home, mostly making additions and corrections to the
website, maybe 8-12 hours a week. He considers his
move to self-employment part of his de-schooling
process.

p.s. he is trained as an electrical engineer and his
former job was writing algorithyms (sp) for TI
calculators.
