They probably didn't get that much off mtv. Dont think it was enough to live on. Nowhere near what mtv US paysSorry if this has been mentioned in past posts or if it’s been discussed. But one thing I’ve never been able to wrap my head around is where do these girls get their money from, especially in the early days? Shannon, Megan, Amber and Mia all live on their own but there is no indication for how they pay for their own places because none of them work!? Initially I thought they must be getting benefits/universal credit but then if they’re getting paid by MTV isn’t that classed as income? I understand Sassi has pretty much always grafted and Chloe bought her home, but I can’t wrap my head around the rest. Especially Shannon, her flat always seemed nice and in a decent building - unless Charlie paid for it?
Omg stop itBig Mo, Spacer Raider and the bandits
Housing is super cheap up in the north and housing benefit will probs pay most if not all of it depending on how many bedrooms she hasI’ve always wondered how Amber manages financially, she rents a pretty nice house
Where does she live? Meaning the area?Shannon lives in a very expensive and lovely area. I would give my eye teeth to live there-very lucky.
Ahhh this makes sense. It definitely made me question it more when Charlie was looking at houses and told the mortgage advisor that Shannon didn’t work. So it sounded crazy to me how he thought he would single handedly be able to afford a £380K house!They probably didn't get that much off mtv. Dont think it was enough to live on.

Shannon's flat was nice because it looked pretty new but it's tiny and would have been housing association/council. She was on benefits that will be part of the reason he didn't live there (other than the fact he clearly didn't want to commit)
This also crossed my mind too as Blackpool is a pretty cheap area to live. I know throughout the show it’s mentioned that Ste doesn’t work at times either. I wish they actually spoke about being on benefits on the show to give an even more realistic view of what being a teen mum actually means.Housing is super cheap up in the north and housing benefit will probs pay most if not all of it depending on how many bedrooms she has
It was Megan getting a horse and leaving it in the back garden for meOne of my favourite teen mum uk moments was when sassi was getting a driving lesson from her mum and crashed the car. I think she wrote it off?! I love sassi she cracks me up. Also when Megan was super excited to get a new caravan. I was like wtf?!
Me too. There’s no shame in claiming benefits if you genuinely need them and obviously with a young baby being a single mum it’s hard to find work and childcare. I imagine in some cases it’s easier to be on benefits because the cost of childcare would outweigh the money they could earn. I just wish the show made that clear, instead of completely wiping over the subject. It’s reality tv after all so I wish they gave a realistic view in terms of the financesThis also crossed my mind too as Blackpool is a pretty cheap area to live.

Agree! I was on benefits for a very long time, but then I finally got into a job I love and met my partner, we both work full time now but I don’t feel embarrassed about it. It’s life, especially as a young mother it might work out better to be on them.Me too.

The girls have been in the public eye for some time now so I can imagine they do. They might still get some help with benefits though still, depending on their income/circumstance etc.They all have decent follower numbers on IG so bet they get a decent £ from their Adverts & affiliate links. Wonder if they have registered as self employed and even declare it
This is one thing I wish all the teen mom franchises covered more. On the USA one, it doesn’t seem like they get any kind of help yet are able to afford to run cars (even some that were homeless) and it seemed that as soon as someone got a job in say a bar, they went out it and got an apartment (I’ve since found you can get unemployment in the USA).Me too.
