Posted in Homeschool View on Thursday, May 5, 2011
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work" (2 Corinthians 9:8).
Homeschooling creates its own unique financial challenges. Having one parent as the single bread winner and one parent teaching at home 24/7 can leave funds a bit short for not only monthly living expenses, but also for the extra money needed to pay for curriculum, supplies, field trips, and outside learning activities.
Although a small home business may be a feasible solution for some families, many homeschool parents aren't able to put a large amount of time and energy toward extra financial pursuits. So, what can the average, full-time homeschool parent do to bring in a little extra cash to balance the family budget? Here are 30 money-making suggestions you might explore to keep your homeschool household operating in the black:
1. Farmers' market garden produce and baked goods
