Jodie Sweetin reveals addiction left her ‘with no money’

Full House actress Jodie Sweetin has opened up about how addiction drained all her money, leaving her earning $3200 a month and borrowing cash during her first week back on Fuller House.

Jodie Sweetin learned “humility” when all of her money was “gone” amid her years-long struggle with addiction.

The Long Sip
What happened

Jodie Sweetin revealed on a podcast that her addiction wiped out all the money she earned from Full House before she got sober in 2011.

The detail

She was earning just $3200 a month, raising two kids in a one-and-a-half-bedroom apartment, with her parents covering half the rent.

And then

When Fuller House launched on Netflix in 2016, she skidded into her first paycheck with only $270 left in her bank account.

FrazzledMel
It is a massive reality check to hear she was raising two kids in a tiny apartment on only $3200 a month while working as a director of operations in treatment. Having to put items back at the checkout because the debit card declined is a level of stress most people wouldn't expect from a former child star. 💸

The 'bloom where you are planted' mindset is a great way to handle starting over in a normal job after a massive career setback. It shows that focusing on being present for your kids matters more than your ego or a bank balance. 🌸
