I usually don’t get too riled up over random comments made by celebrities, but this one definitely stings, and continues to do so days after first reading about it. Simple things I used to take for granted, such as grocery trips, are now seen as a luxury in my wallet’s eyes (can’t remember the last time we made a “real” grocery shopping trip). We are falling behind on the mortgage…not far enough to make the bank want to snatch back the property from us, but far enough to warrant calls/letters on a regular basis. The phone line is burning up with harrassing calls from creditors, rightfully wanting their money…with absolutely nothing to offer, we can’t even attempt to file for bankruptcy and re-organize our finances. We are in financial limbo…truly hanging on by a thread, worried about the slightest snip that would send us into dire straights. It’s not just the pocketbook that is suffering…the daily stresses of trying to claw our way out is eating away at our marriage.

That to me is true struggling- desperately trying to hang on without a safety net, while also trying to preserve the family unit. So to hear someone with absolutely no bearings in reality toss out a bubbleheaded comment about “struggling”…ugh. Have some respect for the little people Pam. The overworked, overstressed dingy blue collar folks who bought into your empire so that you can now *choose* to “struggle”.

She’s a stupid, ignorant bimbo who really should keep her mouth shut!

It is a little insulting for Ms. Anderson to claim that she is living from check to check. That’s not an admirable state to be in – particularly when you don’t have to be. It’s not a good example of fiscal responsibility to her boys.

Kelly, have you thought that perhaps if you strengthened your writing and grammar skills you might actually be hired for a better job? With all of the educational opportunities out there, we can hardly blame strangers for our own lack of it that keeps us pigeonholed, now can we?

Seriously, you people think this is worth getting pissed about? I am sure she did not mean to offend you all. I also doubt she makes millions anymore and she has probably invested most of her hard earned money, she’s a clever woman after all. Maybe she does struggle a bit, who knows and is not assuming? Who are you lot to judge what struggling is?

Some people will always be worse off than you, does that mean you need to shut the beep up? No, of course not.

I don’t know if Pam understands that paycheck to paycheck is not how even regular folks want to live. Living paycheck to paycheck is scary and stressful. More like hand to mouth than not. I think she means well, but I can understand how some posters feel in these very difficult economic times, they are not amused

I was looking forward to seeing her interact with her boys on the show, but respect nher decision to keep the spotlight off of them.

I also think it’s great that she uses her money to assist causes she finds important. I’m sure it’s not putting her in a financial hole, lol but she could be spending all of her money on spran tans. Ya know? lol

When you really HAVE to struggle from paycheck to paycheck, it’s not so fun! I am assuming she is putting away money for her sons’ college. (something we can’t do!)

Like someone else said she may not be as rich as someone as say will smith or tom cruise, but she is far from struggling and she really she say that when she has been in the industry for years and you see her dressed nice, living the good life. I like pam in general, but some of these celebrities need a dose of reality
