The skyrocketing real estate prices you experienced are staggering! It shows how even the best-laid plans can be upended by external factors. Your decision to live on a single income and homeschool is truly brave and admirable.
And you're right, it's this willingness to take the leap, regardless of where we land, that connects us. Thank you for sharing your story. It gives me even more confidence to continue exploring and learning on my own path!
