I thought that was the entire reason for wanting to move so he can run for office. Then he picks AZ, what the heck happened to UtahYea, he did. Gotta move back to Utah before doing that though.

i'm now seeing on-line where they bought the property, 3 of the wives are renting but christine is in a home she's already purchased. so how does that even make sense with their long term plans?
That's what I was wondering also.
Will Christine then have to sell the house she is living in when they build on the vacant land?
why not just refinance and stay put?
I'm confused. Then how would they expect to qualify for mortgages to build houses on the bare dirt?they may not qualify. it's a whole lot different doing a refi on 4 individual homes vs. buying bare dirt (and i kind of wonder if that might have been owner financed since part of the negotiations involved how much they would put down-that's nothing that's ever entered into negotiations when we've bought or sold property). if they bought the homes under some kind of creative interest only payment w/a balloon loan none of them may have the means to qualify for what a refinanced traditional payment would run them.

Me too...and what about the bankruptcy, it takes like 7 years to be able to reestablish credit?I'm confused. Then how would they expect to qualify for mortgages to build houses on the bare dirt?
I thought about that too, thinking it takes 7 years maybe? And they bought the houses 7 years ago, so it should be gone now. But I have no idea how many years before buying those houses they declared (I think several of them have)>Me too...and what about the bankruptcy, it takes like 7 years to be able to reestablish credit?
Ultimately it's a big issue for polygamy in general. If you want to have a lot of kids, it often doesn't pay for both parents to work. But if one of the parents also has other wives with a bunch of other kids, how do you pay for it all?What a financial quagmire! Anyway, I'm addicted to the show. Been watching it for years.
Very true...they all have beautiful homes. Mary in that giant house is ridiculous. They should throw her into a mother-in-law type of apartment built onto one of the other wives new homes. And with Janelle not having any more small children, they could do an addition onto Robin or Christine's house, with say two bedrooms. This would save them from having to build 4 new homes. Since they are supposed to be sister wives, and helping each other with their "group" children, they shouldn't be so selfish...after all...they say they have the blessing of the lord.Ultimately it's a big issue for polygamy in general.

Of course the Browns' situation is different because of the income from the show, but their standard of living has gone up right along with that income.
I think they lost the true "sister wife" mentality somewhere over the years. I've said all along in this thread that if Meri really believed in the Sister Wife lifestyle, she wouldn't be complaining about her empty nest, she'd be helping out with her "other kids".Very true...they all have beautiful homes.

Absolutely right...I agree. Mary is so disconnected, yet she wants to believe she isn't. Her face tells it all!I think they lost the true "sister wife" mentality somewhere over the years.

CAn you imagine your husband of 20 years coming home and saying "Guess what, I'm in love. She's way younger (and thinner) than you. I know your feelings are hurt, but she's great and you'll get used to her. I'm going to marry her, and I'd like you to watch her kids while I take her on a romantic honeymoon. Okay?"
