'Extreme Cheapskates' cast Then and Now: Here's what eccentrics who redefined frugality have been up to
'Extreme Cheapskates' cast: Where are they now?
The reality television series 'Extreme Cheapskates' premiered on TLC in 2011. The show, which explored the extremely frugal lifestyle of several individuals who genuinely went above and beyond with saving, was canceled after its third season. The last episode aired in 2014, so it has been a while, and viewers must be wondering where their favorite former reality TV stars are now.
Jordan Page
The 'Cheapest Millionaire' is currently the face of 'Fun Cheap or Free Queen', a website she founded to share creative ideas for transforming "frugal" living into a way of life. Jordan and her spouse Bubba faced some difficult decisions after delving deep into 'Family Finance.' Despite their financial catastrophe, the couple persevered and eventually became popular for Jordan's eight children and her unusual cost-cutting strategies. Jordan founded and currently owns the Page Company.
Moon Shadow aka Goldy Locks
Goldylocks, also referred to as Goldy Locks, is a vocalist and professional wrestler. She has penned several songs, including 'The Man in Me', 'Broken', 'Hands of Wicked', 'Forever' for Thea Trinidad, 'Dodging Bullets' for Trinity, and 'Broken' for Tara. She has, however, continued to be too devoted and modest in her private life despite her enormously cheap lifestyle. She has her own business and works as an Amazon Associate.
Kate Hashimoto
With her husband Matt and children, Kate Hashimoto from Season 1 currently resides in New York. The extreme cheapskate has continued to live an incredibly frugal life, managing to get by on less than $200 per month in New York City (the average New Yorker spends over $1300, not including rent). Her low-cost lifestyle includes planting imitation plastic flowers on her land to save on gardening expenses, cleaning herself with soap and water instead of toilet paper, and making coasters and candlesticks out of kitty litter by baking them in a kiln.
Greg Insco
The former reality TV star teaches Zumba and makes an effort to explore side interests, like research initiatives. Given that Greg ordered only one piece of rib and water on his first date, it is not surprising that it ended badly. Greg currently lives with his friends Rodge and Kevin. He was the mayor of Colerain Township before becoming the owner and instructor of The Studio. Moreover, the entertainer at GregInsco.com is a resident of Cincinnati.
Abdul Mohammed
Abdul Mohammed is among the most affordable entrepreneurs in the world. The former army vet now runs a prosperous Sioux Falls hot dog stand. The business instructor tries to barter his way through every aspect, even to the point of giving his wife $25 anniversary festivities. It is reported that his wife of 10 years filed for divorce due to her dissatisfaction with his way of life. Furthermore, he is the author of the book 'How To Find Your Passion Now' and runs the same-titled YouTube channel.
Kelley Watson
Kelley Watson made an appearance in the 'Cheap Hair Day' episode of season 3. The reality TV star is an actor by profession and has acted in several plays. Kelley has appeared in episodes of 'The Steve Harvey Show', 'Bizzare Work Stories', 'Chicago PD', 'Crisis', and other shows. She is the Bermuda Liaison at the Chicago Caribbean Film Festival, the Managing Director of ABC Pilates Naples, Florida, and a former pilates instructor at Horizon Health.
Shelley Watson
Season 2's Shelley Watson is most famous for her low-key lifestyle and for being the well-known mother who gave her daughter Ashley a $1000 wedding. The reality TV celebrity has also appeared in several plays, including 'So Freakin Cheap' and 'Random Doors'. Ashley and Brittany are Shelley's two daughters from her marriage to Tracy Watson. Shelley is employed as a social media marketer at the moment, assisting companies in growing their social selling operations.
Terence Candell
The owner of Candell's College Prep Academy is a man with a respectable income, but he has severe thrifty inclinations and a saving addiction. He provides substandard care for his family. Every year, Terrence uses the pennies he has saved to treat his family to dinner. Much to the dismay of his family, Terrence chooses to eat at a Chinese buffet instead of a formal restaurant.
Victoria Hunt
One of the astoundingly low-cost cast members of the show is Victoria Hunt. The season one star has among the most economical lifestyles and is the richest "frugal" millionaire by far. The Columbus, Ohio, resident is rumored to have been conserving water by urinating into a jar and turning it into compost. Victoria decided to resign from her accounting position at 48, and she now makes most of her money from rental properties. Her annual income of $12,000 covers all of her expenses, including bills, groceries, and health insurance.
Karen Hearn
One of the more graphic episodes in the show's history was Karen's third-season episode. This episode helped viewers understand the lengths people would go to to "save a few bucks." Karen refused to see the dentist to have her teeth extracted, pushing her husband Grant to do it instead, putting them in danger of infection, complications, and possibly death. Currently, Karen and her spouse Grant are carrying on their low-cost daily existence out of the sight of the public and social media.
