Annette: I;think;frugal;living;allowed
us to live on one income so I was free to
really;enjoy;the;kids.
Steve: If we would have had a big mortgage payment and car loans that we were
paying;off,;Annette;wouldn’t;have;had
the freedom to be a stay at home mom.
Annette: Not only was I able to school
the;kids;better;in;some;ways,;but;I;was
able to transfer those frugal skills for
living;to;the;kids.;We’ve;also;developed
MoneySmart;Kids,;a;program;for;teach-ing;kids;about;money.
Steve:;Every;one;of;our;kids;was;trained
to earn money at home by earning points
every;day.;The;skills;they;learned;from;a
young age empowered them to be able to
buy their own cars for cash and go to college for cash without loans.
We got a letter from somebody that
said,;“We’ve;been;married;20;years,;our
kids;are;ready;to;go;to;college,;and;we
just;finished;paying;off;our;student;loans.
We;haven’t;been;able;to;save;a;penny;for
our;kids.”;That;moved;us;to;write;a;whole
chapter;in;our;newest;book;about;how
to get through college without borrow-ing,;and;it’s;one;of;the;talks;we;present;at
homeschool conferences, too. Basically
what;we;write;is;what;we’ve;lived.;We
aren’t;telling;people;to;do;anything;that
we;haven’t;done.
TOS:;Thank;you;for;sharing;with;us.
Steve:;It;was;great;talking;with;you.
