Many of them claim to not have any money. However, the facts don’t add up in this regard. Sure, the teens aren’t rich but they’re definitley not living in the poor house. They make a good amount of money.
For a single season of the show, each teen earns between $60,000 and $65,000. they’re obviously not millionaires but they shouldn’t be living in the poor house either. For a teen mom, $65,000 a year is an extraordinary amout of money, especially when you consider the alternative which would probably be government assistance.
The problem seems to be that the kids are blowing through their money. That’s not surpising considering their age. They probably assume that they will be keep receiving checks this large, forever, and aren’t saving wisely.
They’ll eventually learn but the circumstances in which they do, probably won’t be pretty. Best wishes to all of them! Here’s to hoping that they get their stuff together!!
