Description

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores whether raising children on a single income is truly possible in today’s financial climate. He unpacks the realities of income, housing costs, and childcare, while examining cultural trends of delaying children and the regret many couples feel from waiting too long.

The conversation shifts from statistics to encouragement, showing that with sacrifice, intentional budgeting, and faith, single-income families can thrive. Listeners will learn how to reframe wealth, prioritize legacy over luxury, and take practical steps toward building a household grounded in provision, contentment, and long-term vision.
