Families all across America are choosing to homeschool. While we've been homeschooling for years, it's amazing to read the news of what's happening in public schools all over the country with school closures, angry parents pulling their kids out of school, protesting against school boards, and of course, the horrific and tragic events of school shootings we feel for all of the families, and most importantly, the children. Who are stressed out, anxious, and are bombarded with so many themes and stressors that go beyond algebra, Shakespeare, foreign language, history, science, and other important subjects that they need to be learning in order to be prepared for higher education, good jobs, and for leading our country in the future. With all this going on, it's no wonder why families are flocking to homeschool. It's happening everywhere. Parents are making dramatic changes, but there's one big question stopping a lot of families from homeschooling. How can I afford it? I'm Anthony Obie. And I'm Crystal Obie. We could not have anticipated all of the current issues happening today when we decided to homeschool way back then. But I'm really glad that we made that decision and that we figured out how to manage our money and build a business in a way that gives us a very integrated family lifestyle. We've helped families transform their finances and our business helps entrepreneurs create brands, launch and sell online and build lifestyle businesses like we've done for ourselves, and that's why we're here. To tackle the big question. Many families across the country are faced with, how can I afford to homeschool? I decided back in 1999 that I wanted to homeschool my children. This was also the year that the first infamous public school shooting happened Columbine. But as Anthony said, this was not at the top of the list of reasons I decided to homeschool. I had read about homeschooling and Time Magazine and instantly loved the idea of being able to provide a customized, elite level education for my children without the high cost of private specialty schooling. I also love the idea of instilling family values, teaching personal responsibility to my children, teaching them personal finances and so many other skills that would prepared them to be successful and responsible adults. I knew that public schooling didn't provide all those things, so when Anthony and I first met in our first year of college in Atlanta, and he loved the idea, it felt great to have someone who shared my dream. We became instant besties, and now we've been married for 23 years and counting. We've been homeschooling for 13 years and counting, and we have five children like we've mentioned in the trailer. No more counting there. The baby making department is permanently shut down. We've also been making money from home and enjoying the internet selling lifestyle since 2006. Today, in 2025, education reform has reached an all time high in America. For millions of intentional parents, public school is not an option and the cost of private school is too high. Plus, because so many parents want the best childhood and learning experience for their children, millions of families across America are choosing to homeschool.
