I always wanted to start a forum for work at home moms, but it seem like it can run you a lot of money.

Isn't there any free or at least cheaper forum software?

sure there is. two main free options.
phpbb
- nice third party theme.

Simple Machines Forums(SMF)
- known but unproven security (or was it?)
- admin and mod panel are better

any others? please do tell, this is an old forum debate.

I don't think there are other, both phpBB and SMF are good
there are some differences, phpBB is better if you are looking for good themes

phpBB3 is best free forum software out there.

MyBB is okay, but no where as good as phpBB3.

I'm sure you can have some success without even spending money on anything, except for the domain-name. These days you can get free hosting that could be better than some paid ones.
