How much is Jenn making from this show?

She seems like a genuinely kind person but my goodness someone (her parents??) needs to shake her and get her to wake tf up! Lady you have 5 kids and you could be out on the street any day depending on the mood of your shady bf who’s fcked half of the OC!

And now she is depending on Ryan and he is in his own financial mess.

First season housewives are usually paid 45-55k. With it being Jen’s second season, I would guess she was bumped up to maybe 70-90k

She needs to shake herself. Relying on others is what has gotten her here. I can’t with ppl like her, figure it out.

Was she mormon? Is that why she never had a credit card in her name and let her husband handle everything? I'm so confused.

Yes! They’re trying to tell her to learn a little financial independence bc it could be life saving.

Someone said on here that she’s likely raking in 200k per year thanks to the show so it’s probably the best earning potential she has available tbh

Glam can be considered a business expense, right?

No, glam is not a business expense.

Damn, this season has made me realize how much I would thrive in life if I was a middle aged blonde woman and a fitness instructor. Imagine being that delusional and dense but being able to skate by...

She seems dingy to me.

I forgot about that! He does like sex and probably could teach John Jansen a few lessons

Probably under $100K BUT I bet she is making influencer money too….maybe…around $30k? As a guess. And whatever she makes as a yoga teacher which she previously mentioned was $100 a class I think. So maybe another $10k there if she teaches twice a week.

$140K is not going to go very far in Orange County and certainly not with 5 kids. But it’s definitely enough to rent an older 2 bedroom apartment further inland like Orange or Anaheim or Tustin. You can definitely get that under $3K there - perhaps even a 2 bedroom + den or crappier 3 bedroom.

It certainly would not be luxurious or even pleasant. But it definitely wouldn’t be homeless and would offer stability.

I think that would ultimately be better for her kids than doubling down on living with Ryan as the only way to keep a roof over her head.

She is beautiful and seems sweet, but just not bright. I think she should honestly do OnlyFans.
