This former housewife has mortgaged her house for double what she paid at this point. In addition she has a credit card company looking for hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills. Her spin-off was canceled and her and her kids spend the money faster than it comes in. She has the older ones hustling but they spend it on food and travel. Her devoted, dopey husband seems to think it’s all good. He isn’t worried. Allegedly.
