One of the things many of you may or may not know about me is that my entire university education has been acquired while working full time. When I was allotted TV time, I didn’t use it to watch the standard children’s shows. Well I studied, wrote the exam and got the job. I was hooked on medicine.

I also had a blog several years ago (a little more on that below), but these days I write periodic essays at A Word on Substack as well as short, inspiring (I hope) messages most mornings at Good Notes. I was especially close to my maternal grandmother, though, and any financial education I got came from her.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). He loved it, although his mother asked him at the rehearsal dinner if he shouldn’t go get a haircut! ? Not at all. If we want it, let’s buy it.
