How long can Sis sustain being so upset about everything all the time? I guess it fuels her in some way? The woman has no peace.
I wonder how many of her former friends have found this forum.

You’d have to pay to hire some ride and dies in which you are obviously the center of their universe and to stage photo shoots of your wild and crazy shenanigans such as matching baby doll pajamas while playing golf and wearing cowboy boots.

Adoring crowd who think you’re all just too cute and become immediate girl fans for additional fee.

I hope Jen has a service of how to sweetly and dearly equip us with this knowledge as this is so precious and dear sweet dear to us all. We'd gladly fork over truckloads of cash for this.


And also, ideally, which Able bag would best accessorize my lewk in this situation?

Only Jen can bring it all together for me. That’s the value-add.

Even though I can empathize with being financially blindsided after a divorce and applaud anyone who had to learn how to navigate the things that the husband always did, Jen Hatmaker is not who I would take seriously for any sort of practical advice, especially when it comes to how to manage my money. There are too many credible and approachable places, online and off, for women to learn financial literacy from actual experts with credentials.

The fact that Jen has a paid e-course for everything from how to be a parent to a gay kid to how to balance your checkbook says it all for me. No thank you.

Jen's income is probably most derived from the book club and the online sponsorships. The book advance she got for Awake is probably pretty modest $150K for an established writer with a new publisher. That was given to her at least a year ago.

I would bet, though, that the JenSAVES promo code stuff adds up as she's constantly shilling.

The podcast is probably a money hole as it's pretty unpopular these days.

And she's not on the road anymore like she used to and isn't on TV much either so media appearances are pretty nil.

While her current revenue seems contingent upon daily shilling, Sis did have to face the music at one point, which ain't easy. Heck, it is too easy for me to not pay enough attention to my own finances and put off the anxious scrutinizing of charges and the tough convos about retirement planning, etc.


Too many free resources out there. I always recommend starting even with your local library and asking workers there to point you in the right direction.



Agreed! Financial literacy is so important, and married couples especially should be on the same page. But an online video by Jen Hatmaker (of all people), should be the LAST place you get financial advice from.


Pretty much. I actually have some empathy for Jen being blindsided by poorly managed finances. But there is nothing about her lifestyle that suggests that any stratagies she has are going to be helpful to me. Like, yeah you are going to need to sell you 1 million+ dollar lake house? That was definitely not an option for ro us. And within a year or two post this financial crisis take a month of for "me camp" (every year), go to New York/Broadway shows? I doubt she has information relevant to my life. And I don't consider myself poor. Also, if I was going to listen to her, there would be the drawback of listening to her, which is now like nails on chalk board so there's that.


I think Jen's MeCamp's are at least partially paid for my patrons and sponsors. So that keeps costs down. But the places she is going is increasingly pretty threadbare so the opportunities must be drying up. The place she stayed at last year in Michigan looked like a college apartment. It was pretty sad. It'll be interesting to see if this year's MeCamp will be grander.

I’m not convinced she knows anything, much less has anything to teach about finances. She’s definitely still spending, I can’t see any source of income, except her occasional speaking engagements. No matter how smart you are with investing you still have to have more money coming in than out.
