She then explained that she was doing just fine with the money she got from the show. Amanda claimed, "I was doing just fine without the show, so the money I make off the show, that's not even budgeted. I don't even put that in my budget, because I don't live off the show. Because that show is not forever."

"I work my a** off doing what I've got to do to make sure my bills are paid. I like that you did say that, because if people lived every day as if it were a rainy day then a lot of us would probably be a lot better off," added Amanda.
