Ultimately by the polygamous family, Kody had four wives and 18 children. With so many mouths to feed, money has always been an issue, even though Kody and several of his wives work. Now this Maddie is an adult with her own familyin addition to having his own business, it gave him a different understanding of his father's financial issues. Read on for more information about the Brown family's troubled finances.
Maddie says the Browns were “really poor”
So many mouths to feed
Maddie was recently interviewed on Authentic Society podcast on YouTube, where she opened up about his family's financial situation while growing up. “Before the show, we were very poor“, Maddie said.”I think my dad made decent money, but we had 15 kids.“Finances would become even more difficult after the Sister Wives the stars added three more children to the mix.
The Browns were often lured into get-rich-quick schemes
Entrepreneurial spirit
Since the Sister Wives clan was always in need of extra money. For this reason, they have always been attracted to half-baked money-making schemes over the years, which have rarely been successful. The Browns experimented with several businesses, including a clothing store, a jewelry store and a book store.
Maddie's life is very different now
Caleb taught her that a penny saved is a penny earned
Maddie is married to Caleb Brush, with whom she is about to have her fourth child, and their approach to managing money is very different. Unlike Maddie's parents, who spent money as quickly as they earned it, Caleb taught Maddie how to save money. Now that Maddie and her mother, Janelle, have gone into business together, their more mature approach to financial matters may be exactly what the rest of the world can do. Sister Wives clan needs.
