Janelle Raises Concerns About Kody’s Financial Management with Family Resources
In a candid reflection on the family’s financial challenges, Janelle expressed her frustration about their struggle to pay off Coyote Pass, voicing her concerns regarding Kody’s handling of their finances. She noted that while Kody mentioned having “all these other debts,” she observed him purchasing various assets, including trailers and home décor items. “I see all the art on their walls,” she remarked, referring to Robyn and Kody’s home, highlighting her awareness of their spending habits. “I see all these things. And that?s fine; I have money and I?ve spent it on things, too,” she added. Kody, on the other hand, explained that a significant portion of his finances was allocated to acquiring cars?claiming he “basically had a fleet”?and covering insurance for their children.
Janelle also admitted that she was uncertain about the financial dynamics between Kody and Robyn. She recalled being consistently surprised by the impressive state of Robyn’s backyard, noting, “It was completely finished. And there was always, like, stuff at her house. And I was like, ‘Wow. Huh.'” This observation left her questioning their financial priorities and how they managed their resources.
Ultimately, Janelle concluded that Kody does not prioritize her needs or desires, a realization that gradually took a toll on her. “I think after a while, I began to see it, and my kids were getting very angry about it, like my adult children. Like, ‘What the hell, Mom?'” Her children?s reactions underscored the growing discontent surrounding the family’s financial decisions.
In contrast, Robyn shared her perspective, emphasizing her careful budgeting practices since her first marriage ended. ?I used to be not so great with money,” she revealed during the September 22 episode, reflecting on her financial journey. “When I was young, I had hard knocks, and then I learned during my divorce really how to budget myself very, very well.” Addressing her sister wives, she stated, “You just must have had a different priority of where your money was going to go than I did, that?s all.” This difference in financial priorities further illustrates the complexities within their family dynamics.
