More power to you, but "home schooling" isn't something you can put on a resume in lieu of post-secondary education.

My undergrad cost me about $50K before residence/housing - was it worth it? I think so. Although I'm in debt up to my eyeballs, I have good job and a solid future.

Never stop learning.

I finished my degree last year. I'd say it was worth it, I now have my own pad, my independance and autonomy, and good source of income. I'm glad I'm done though. School can be more "stifling" for your learning at times. Education as an institution can be insular, and not expose you to the real world, which is often different from the ideals of academia.
