The only thing stopping you from homeschooling is you. You come into the world with nothing, you leave with nothing. The stuff you value in between will be tossed when you die. However, your legacy will live on. If you leave that to someone else to teach your kids, you really do leave with nothing. If you teach your own kids, they carry you on after you're gone. Stuff filling your house, cars, boats.. all that stuff is not worth it. Your kids are.
