Kody Brown and the Sister Wives thought that their move to Arizona would be perfect for the family but things have not been shaping out the way they had intended to.

Kody knew that it would be best for the family to let go of Las Vegas and make Arizona their new home. While everyone seemed to agree and move, things have been hard for the Brown family financially. 

In the season premiere, Kody sat down with all the wives and revealed that they are drowning financially. He shared that they were paying for five mortgages and it had been the root cause of why they were struggling with money.

Out of all the houses, only Christine was the one who moved out on time and put her house up for sale. However, the other houses still had various things left behind and made them unfit to be put up for sale.

Kody knew that the only way they can get out of the financial problems would be if they sell all the houses. He knew Meri's house was out of limits for a couple of months as she had to move back to Las Vegas after she was asked to vacate her Arizona house due to complaints made by neighbors. 

That left Robyn and Jenelle's houses. Jenelle revealed that her house still needed certain repairing and would be ready by October. Meanwhile, Robyn's house would also be ready around the end of the same month.

However, she added that during November and December, there are not many people who engage in buying new houses and it might be a problem for them. 

Kody thought that the only way to get financially stable would be to sell one of the houses. While he hinted that the move is taking a toll on the family, fans hinted that it is his fault that the family is suffering financially.

Many took to social media to express their views. "But hold up... you wanted the Move Kody and now you talking about you're in deep water," one user wrote. 

Another added, "He just figured out they’re paying for houses they don't live in????!!! Ur a rocket scientist Kody!"

Some found it hard to understand how they did not see this coming as the comment read, "I could have told them this would be a HORRIBLE idea financially and I don't know anything about the ins and outs of their finances like they do so I really don’t understand how they didn't see this ending badly."

Even though the family is suffering financially Kody still has the dream of building a large house where all of them can live together as one big happy family. 

'Sister Wives' airs on Sundays at 10 pm ET on TLC.
