This only works without kids.

My buddy does this with 3 kids. Hes been a contractor all his life for start up. Regularly gets equity in the start up. Builds it up, then cashes out.

Works for him as a contractor because he can make his own hours and they home school their kids, so they travel all the time too

Those kids are going to be miles behind everyone else when they enter the workforce.

He had first year of state tests this year and his oldest tested an entire grade above where she should be. They are enrolled in so many activities (sports, music, cooking classes, etc.) That they get plenty of social interaction and develop their social skills.

I appreciate your uninformed opinion tho
