What could go wrong? And the thing is, she's not desperate for her next meal or to pay the mortgage like many business owners are. Oh I dunno, she not only has the Lizzie's mortgage payment but also her multi thousand dollar rental in Flagstaff, plus all the operating costs involved in running a lodging. Even with no customers she still has to pay for insurance, workers comp for her mom and whoever is helping her mom when she's not around, landscaping, maintenance, etc. I'm not even considering her personal expenses - driving back and forth between places must run up quite a bit of gas and car maintenance bills for one thing. I wonder if she put away all the dust and germ catching knick knacks? I guess you can't really hang out inside the house unless you're going to stay in your room or wear a mask inside.

Here in my part of Georgia they come every Fall to spend their winters. They are death eaters, devouring death out of the environment so that living things can continue to prosper and grow. It is said that the Great Spirit rewarded the turkey vulture with the tremendous gift of soaring and flight for doing one of the earth's most thankless jobs, keeping it clean. For this, the turkey vulture is one of the best soarers in the bird kingdom, and can go for hours without flapping a single wing.

It seems that I heard that the $12,000 per month required was for the volume of sales, Meri would net approximately half of that after paying for her inventory. On top of that, she must have someone else in the background, helping her receive shipments, unpack, hang garments on racks, invoice, pack and ship. I know Meri prides herself on her efficiency but it takes time to set up the "lives" she does several times a week, PLUS, she frequently "bakes" Rice Krispie treats to include with shipments as a thank you for the order. She seems to have spent about 50% of her time at the Inn since the pandemic struck and appears to be conducting her "lives" from her home in AZ, so I don't see how she could accomplish all that without paying someone to help her with the nitty gritty chores associated with the business, $12,000 in sales would represent close to 350 garments sold. Still nothing to sneer at, if she nets $6000 per month from sales, less a salary to someone who may be helping her, it's still a lot more than Janelle would be earning from her "Strive" and I'm sure 10 times anything Robyn ever earned with SWC. It is possible Meri is handling the LLR business all by herself, she may be directing all of her frustrations and pent-up energy to proving a point. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/212/#findComment-6218763

DakotaJustice July 8, 2020 Share July 8, 2020 (edited) $6k a month before taxes... considering out of that post tax she has to pay her rent on Flag, mortgage on Parowan (remember there hasn't been any income from the B&B since March), car expenses, personal living expenses and take care of the shortfalls of the B&B earning/expense ratio. I still believe she has yet to see a real profit from Lizzie's. ETA also keeping in mind the Brown's history of living beyond their means. I don't see Kody or any of the wives - Janelle included - putting aside anything for the future. Even if they were each making $25 million annually, they'd piss it away and be left with nothing at the end of the year. ETA Again - $6k a month = $72k a year.

How can you even keep your eyes open with all that goop on them? And how do you manage your workouts in full makeup and not sweat it off? That's a real skill! Tell us, please! And based on that latest photo, your face seems to have lost about 20 pounds! Wow! I mean, you've basically erased your jawline into oblivion! You're, like, a filter genius or something!
