Janelle's concerns about how Kody handled the family's finances have been a long-standing issue. She noticed that while Kody claimed to have other debts, he was also acquiring assets like trailers and home décor. This led her to question his financial priorities.

Unraveling the Family's Financial Puzzle

Janelle's Observations on Kody's Asset Acquisitions

Janelle couldn't help but notice the art on Robyn and Kody's walls and the various things at their house. She shared, "I see all these things. And that's fine, I have money and I've spent it on things, too." But she also wondered about Kody's spending habits when he claimed to have other debts.For his part, Kody explained that much of his cash went to buying cars - "Basically had a fleet" - and insuring the kids. This raised more questions in Janelle's mind about where the family's money was truly going.

Janelle's Acknowledgment of Uncertainty

Janelle admitted that she wasn't sure how Kody and Robyn handled their finances. She was surprised by how nice Robyn's backyard was and how it was completely finished. There always seemed to be "stuff" at her house, which made Janelle think about the differences in their spending priorities.She said, "Bottom line, he doesn't prioritize what I need or what I want. And that issue eventually wore me down. 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?'"

Robyn's Perspective on Budgeting

Robyn shared that she was very careful with her budget after her first marriage fell apart. She admitted, "I used to be not so great with money. When I was young, I had hard knocks, and then I learned during my divorce really how to budget myself very, very well."She also addressed her fellow sister wives, saying, "You just must have had a different priority of where your money was going to go than I did, that's all." This showed that each person had their own approach to managing finances within the family.
