I think you're misreading the picture. This is poker results only no living expenses. So in all winning sessions combined I've won 200k and in all losing sessions combined I've lost 100k for a net gain of 100k. I'll be doing an expense report for Q1 soon I think if I can muster the energy. Spoiler alert: savings rate is around 75% so far this year (and much higher if you don't include debt payments)

I'm not sure if you'll be able to properly teach them education, but the schools can't be that bad for kids, do they ? I don't mean this highschool > college crap, but before that. And like someone else pointed out, there will be way less social activities and that's not good at all tbh. Just think about it : what if your girl went out on a park, and socializing with the others kids, and they ask which school she comes from. She'll first be surprised because most of the kids will be in school and she'll think she's the exception, asking herself questions and whatnot.
I can perfectly relate this experience because I'm deaf and chose to go to a normal's school instead of the deaf one.

At least, try to ask a LOTS of questions before going for homeschooling. You really need a clear plan for what you'll be teaching and that's not an easy task.

Nice to read thst you are doing great. Your kids are adorable lol and the baby is like a mini version of you!

I suppose taking your kids out of school demands a lot of commitment from both parents. I still like the social aspect of school and personally i wouldnt have the patience to do so :x

I'm sure he's done research, saw some tedtalk about homeschooling, and it looked pretty amazing, i also think once a week, they went out in the wilderness, with other kids, and just did stuff out in the wild, and had a blast.

Looked pretty awesome to me.

First 6 years of school I had to go through as a kid, was pretty shit, most courses, useless, think 5-6 hours of christianity, wtf? how much of a waste is that, it's doing x10 more damage than good lol.

5 hours a week of uhm, you sew small little shit things, and stuff like that, 90% of kids wont ever want to do that lol. I'm sure there was a few other useless, sick amount of time a year, wasted.

Keep pwning, awesome to read ur blog

if I think of my time in the Finnish educational system (which supposedly is of ok level), excluding the university, I pretty much just learned to be lazy and disinterested in learning. So that unschooling thing sounds like a really good idea.
