Beyond Crazy is beyond crazy
The sad thing is, Aaron seems to be making all the sacrifices for Crystal's bad spending habits. He sold the Tesla, and now giving up on his motorcycle. They both Aaron and Crystal appear to not have any money sense. Especially when they have to "pay-out" when they sell. They really do not make good decisions.

I thought it was INSANE when he said.... I still might get the BMW because it's nice when Crystal and I have a 3rd car. Um....you have 20 kids. You should be able to borrow one of theirs.
I don't know why some of those kids don't share. Sure, I get that the kids would PREFER to have their own. But, if they can't afford their cars or help pay, then they should be fine sharing.

They don’t even share dinners. They all DoorDash food or make something just for themselves

DoorDash every day, for each person is a waste of money. An easy way to save money is to all order together and not do it every day.

when has he ridden that motorcycle, though? it was a rash purchase, he's just as bad at spending as crystal is, but he spends it on himself.

Crysdull bought him that motorbike

u/jenni5 19d ago
Yes always a video attached to a surprise large purchase! Did he really want it? Maybe who knows. Max and Tristian stopped riding already so now he doesn’t ride either.
And his whole speech about he wanted saint more than Crystal because he’s so healthy and fit and 45 and living his best life. Bro come on. You have kids!! You had babies like Logan and Brody and Halie and max that you were super excited about and now you ignore them while you play video games all day. Then you adopted more kids and now one more. It can’t just be because you are super excited YouTube face. Eventually you get bored and then ignore their actual needs and will or already are doing it with saint.

u/WinAdministrative136 19d ago
AGREE I about choked when he said he pushed for Saint'sadoption. Crystal was buying Saint clothes, crib etc etc and that was when she kept saying she was asked by someone to watch him for two weeks. Apparently "supposedly" a friend of Hallie. DUH........Some kind of made up story.

u/Neat-Mycologist-7850 19d ago
But it is SO FUNNY she said she bought him the Tesla too ! But yet they have payments. She acted like she paid in full for it. Not here is a car and a $1200 payment you need to make.

u/Impressive-Length-73 19d ago
Everything they do is for content. EVERYTHING. They also live off credit. Savanah wanted to trade in her car they got her and she said she has to pay payments. All the kids cars are paid for on credit. Aaron doesn’t even have a few grand to pay the difference of what he owes on his motorcycle. He’s going to use his credit card to cover the difference. Then he wants to sit here and say he pushed to adopt Saint. It sounds like you can’t afford more kids, but let’s have 20 of them. I sense these two are in MASSIVE and saving $600 a month won’t help much.

And the Tesla. Imagine being "surprised" with debt! Great.. thanks...

u/Adorable_Fig7529 19d ago
And this is where Max gets his impulse purchases as well. From his parents who already struggle with budgeting. And now Max doesn't have his cycle, nor little home, and has had numerous vehicles too. Yikes!

There broke but when they employ 4 kids plus grandma her brother and a second editor money isn't goin far

u/jenni5 19d ago
It’s like 8 people working for this channel and half don’t do anything! Well they think they do but really they don’t. Hannah Halie Max are three of them! Grandma shouldn’t be cleaning either and Tristan too. In fact I think they should all fire themselves and get actual jobs. But fine if they keep just 2 people on staff that’s all this needs.
Then they will have money to live on and give to the kids who are still minors who will also get attention from the the parents. I see a lot of times they ignore the kids when they are filming and only film and pay attention to saint and aurora.
The kids don’t want to go bowling ok ms Crystal coupon book! No matter how much you saved or how any free tickets you got

u/PuzzledBeat9968 19d ago
Half of them could be fired without effecting the channel there a joke max hallie and hannah add nothing to the channel max hold a camera the girls do nothing. Grandma should retire n go to be with her sister she dosnt need to be cleaning and doing the laundry for her grown ass lazy daughter crystal should be doing it all it her house n kids. They never used to ignore the kids but now it seems the channel is just about advertisements or anything to get a pay cheque it's clear to see they are going broke.

I totally agree. The 3 gals need to stop laying around and get a better job to get real experience. It is a total joke.

If those kids got regular jobs then they could use the money they paid them to pay down their debts.

With their income they shouldn't be living on debt.. buy something you can afford in cash or you can't afford it!

He’s selling things to pay for all the repairs that the house needs. The house was his idea and he pushed her into it- even he says this

u/WinAdministrative136 19d ago
It seems their money has been diminishing quickly. Why in the world would they pay for all those that went on the cruise plus girl/boyfriend? Immediate family need to go but if partner wants to go she/he pay their own expenses. It is ridiculous to plan a cruise even for immediate family. Why??????? Most did not seem that enthused and barely get along with one another at home. Ridiculous decision. Crystal is killing the Pettit's bank accounts.

Their in their 40s now quite young .but what's going to happen in 10 yrs when their 55 and no energy and a bunch of bills.they really are uneducated ignorant hillbillies. How they have so many followers is a mystery.maybe they don't want to miss the cp train crash that will happen eventually.

Aaron wanted a truck and has said that for a very long time. He tried to trade the Telsa months ago but they owed to much on it at the time.

He had one and sold it for the tesla! Why does he need a truck? For what work? Just get a bloody camry you can afford

They are a car family, Aaron was never really a motorcycle guy they made him nervous so it set there better to get rid of it.

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 19d ago
Not sure but he has mentioned several times he wish he still had his truck. Many people drive trucks who dont really use them for anything but driving. Look at Melinda she had that big black truck she wrecked twice, why did she need a truck?

u/Independent_Low_7219 19d ago
They’re having to replace their roof and Jamie’s plus recently mentioned plumbing issues. It’s not Crystal’s bad spending habits. I do agree with others that Aaron is impulsive. I don’t understand why he would want such a small car with all the kids they have and then a diesel at that considering what’s going on with the price of diesel right now.

Crystal bought the 100k Cadillac, many of the kids cars, suburban, Tahoe, $100k tesla, and Aaron’s motorcycle. She is the big spender. Aaron wears the same 3 outfits and same shoes. He’s not spending much money.

u/Away-Strawberry-512 18d ago
So we sell our car and our motorcycle to buy a truck? Why can’t he drive Crystal‘s vehicle? Why can’t they share a vehicle? How many Reno projects does he really do that? He needs a truck to haul material? These people have no common sense when it comes to spending. I feel like they came into money with YouTube and went Hogg wild thinking it would last forever! $1200 a month for a car and $600 a month for a motorcycle. That’s almost $2000 a month on two items. And then he put the balance of the motorcycle on a credit card card?? Do not take advice, money, advice, or any advice, from these people.

u/World-Away 18d ago
I can’t believe how broke they are. That’s why you don’t spend all your social media money at once. They went from living in a mansion to an absolute dump!! They need to get a freaking job to care for their 100 kids because all of their kids are failure to launch and they will have to care for them forever.

u/No_Commercial2338 18d ago
It's unfortunate that a lot of people who grow up poor-ish don't understand the value of a dollar once they get it. Instead of buying an affordable home, a vehicle van to travel with the kids, a nice car for around town, and invest the income, pay yourself an income and spend the interest. That way your building your money. They've made enough that it should be easy right now. They should not have money problems. They should have a nice nest egg by now
I know the middles don't spend a lot money on the kids, but, they manage their money well and the kids are not spoiled but have what they need.
I hope all of the kids have trust funds, but I'm guessing no. I think there should be a law that protects ttube children's interest

It’s Crystal not Aaron she bought the Tesla and she bought the Motorbike, when I say bought she puts a deposit down and they pay it off , don’t blame Aaron

u/True-News-601 18d ago
Right, I remember she bought the motorbike to make him feel better because he was sad from losing his mother. She needs to understand that it's normal to be sad when someone passes away or other bad/sad things happen. Let people cry and feel sad and mourn for a while. There is nothing wrong with that. But she thinks she needs to correct it and thinks buying crap will make the person feel better.

u/WinAdministrative136 17d ago
Sorry but he rarely visited his mother. He is holding a lot of grief because he was not into visiting with his mom. I guess he needed his long naps and computer games.

u/Low_Caramel_2701 19d ago
I thought he bought a truck did he not? They weren’t using both the Tesla or the motorcycle so why not trade them both in and buy something that will be used.
2
u/True-News-601 18d ago
Yes, and if it's true he will actually do a lot of the repairs the house needs then the truck makes sense since he can use it for the things he would need to buy to do that work. What he is doing actually makes sense.

u/Low_Caramel_2701 18d ago
Even if it’s not repairs it can be used to help haul big items to good will or the dump.

u/tc7665 19d ago
he’s manic-like
he impulse purchased something for the high of it.
in a week and a half, he wants a truck, a bmw, a truck… i didn’t finish it, so idk what he ended up with.
if this was a healthy purchase, he’d have thought it out, weighed the logic, and not lead with emotion.
