Quarter 1 bragpost

lol your kids look so much like you. I applaud the unschooling technique. Anyone who was ever good at anything only did so because they were interested in it. Finding your kid's passions and then letting that evolve into a career makes sense to me. Although I would still want to teach them the basics of history and what not, just so they have an understanding of how the world got to where it is today, and what to expect from others.

this pic made me want to have kids asap

very very nice

Congrats on epic run good!

Love the homeschooling always hoped I'd be able to do the same for my future children.

Nice results. Keep up the good work!

People will give you shit for homeschooling but don't listen to them US education performs badly don't put them in those prison schools gl.

The baby looks just like you and I usually cant see resemblances.

I had a pretty solid month in march...and i was/am thinking about blogging about it..for a long time I have wanted to have a consistant blog like yours as motivation... But man you really blew anything I am doing out of the water back to silent ground zero. Really inspiring don't know what else to say.

cute kids! congrats!

nice going.. good for you man!

the face on the youngest in the last pic

priceless

the "unschooling" method seems really insane but intriguing honestly

very interested in hearing how exactly you'll be going about using this method with your children (if you're ok with posting about it here!)

That's a bad idea bro let your kids go to school the social aspect is more important than the education

well it's not hard to find social outlets like team sports outside of the cesspool that is the US public education.

that baby is such a boss, congrats.

interesting that despite a huge increase in income your savings rate is lower than usual

what did you buy yourself?

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.
