Is Stay At Home Motherhood Only For The Rich And Famous? | Ep 284

Seeking Excellence with Nathan Crankfield

"If my husband was an NFL player, I could afford to stay at home too!!!"

These sentiments have been spread far and wide as of late. We modern Americans love some victim mentality!! We love the option of just blaming privilege for another person's success, rather than taking accountability for our own lives.

Are there some people who are genuinely sacrificing, working hard, and still unable to make ends meet on one income? Yes, there are.

For the majority of college-educated Americans, however, the possibility of living on one income is much more in reach than they believe who lead others to believe.

Most Americans don't budget. Most Americans spend wildly and choose not to save. Most Americans want to work less, not more. Most Americans expect a VERY high standard of living.

Living on one income, for most of us, requires serious commitment and discipline. It is not for the weak or fainthearted. I will be sharing more and more on this topic from our personal experience to hopefully help and inspire those who are ready to pursue this ideal (and feel called to do so!)
