I grew up homeschooled in the Phoenix area, and and most of my friends' families had a single income. My dad is an engineer, and even though I have ten siblings we lived just fine on that income. My mom worked briefly as an engineer before she decided to forgo that to homeschool us. It's definitely a cost, and if this article is missing anything it's not clear enough that homeschooling is a large commitment.
Many of my friends' parents weren't engineers, and some would fall into the "poorer families" category, but they still decided that forgoing an extra salary to homeschool their kids was worth it. It's a very real trade-off, but given most people's level of spending, it's not that hard to cut down quite a bit while maintaining an excellent quality of life, if you have a good enough motivation.
