Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
My husband makes way less than Jared and we were still able to build a very nice 3500 Sq ft home for around 200,000. I think house prices are probably much higher in other parts of the country though.

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
Agree, they have definitely shown more of their day the past 2 vlogs, I hope they continue and try harder and show even more, I haven't fallen asleep the last 2 vlogs from the constant Debbie downer & the positive Pete show, sat in the apartment moaning, groaning and then doing a happy dance!ohmygoshyouguys wrote:lexlex11 wrote:Jackson went to go play with "friends" for the day.

Over all it does seem like yesterday and today they're trying a little harder to show their day so they get points for that!

I thought the same too until she mentioned frozen mango today. I think she probably bought bags of frozen fruits too.lmmomSD wrote:But "tons of fruit"? A bag of grapes and a container of blueberries? Please

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
Glad you mentioned this, because when I saw the house my eyes almost popped out of my head. Where I'm from, a house like that would be 800,000+. Now it makes more sense lol!ohmygoshyouguys wrote:That house is not extravagant in utah where house prices are low. I'd bet it is around a 300,000 house. Average. There are way fancier houses than that for sure. But yes...I hope they can retain their income for the long run somehow!

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
Where's the seasoning? That looks so bland lol. Ellie was right that it doesn't look good. Jared was quick jumping on her like "Ellie... No..." in a disappointed daddy sounding way. It was gross. Let her be disappointed in how unappetizing her food turned out! Shit.nutbagmcgee wrote:One more thing, are those tiny salad plates? Look at the size of the spoon.

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
They do a walk through in the house they're modeling theirs after. It's a boring but simple vlog. Nothing totally to grate your nerves, I'd give it a watch.actuallydear wrote:Is the vlog worth watching so I can see their house?

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
They are getting all the upgrades and best appliances on the house without a second thought. So I'm glad they are sharing more about the house and I have enough self awareness to realize I just get bitchy or angry or bitter or jealous or whatever you want to call it. Because my husband and I went to school for four years, paid our dues, got great jobs, saved up and bought a humble semi detached home as 25 years old (we live in a city with insane housing prices- Ellie and Jareds house in my location would be 800 000 for sure) We worked our buts of and I believe deserve it. We are still paying off loans and have to budget. I just get annoyed at the entitled attitude Ellie and Jared often have. As if they actually think they worked hard for their success? No you got lucky and had the right friends. You had mediocre jobs before YouTube. Most def not making 6 figures anyways. And now they just get all the upgrades without a single thought "we are adding an extra shower" "I WANT that tub" "well add a vanity, nbd" with no idea of how much those add ons are because money obviously isn't an issue. I wouldn't be so bitchy if Ellie didn't get this bitchy entitled expression on her face every time she explains something she gets [img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016021 ... 9c6ccd.jpg[/img]

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
I completely agree Gymchick. That may be an average price in their area, but they tend to have a habit of wanting the best. That isn't going to end with just the house.
Someone will have a nicer car/truck. Someone will buy a travel trailer, nicer 4 wheeler, sled etc. When you make it a habit to need the best, is an expensive slippery slope.
Ellie had said before that the house wasn't going to be their forever house. Just in the last week did that change. I'm wondering if it's to justify all the extras?
I think something still seems off with them, and that they seem to be filling some sort of need. Once they have the house they will move onto some other big thing to plan. I don't see Ellie being that much happier once they are moved in. Someone will always have a nicer home, and if you care about appearances, you can drive yourself crazy.

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
I think she's so obsessive about the house because she has nothing else to concentrate on and spend her time on. Most people building a house are doing so around work and spending time with family. Ellie and jared have nothing else to do but plan the house and they both know it makes good footage so they talk about it constantly.
Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
They always talk about their future "our future house. Our future dog. We'll spend more time together.." What's going to happen when they get those things and will still be bland like always? Keep popping out kids to make it interesting? I hope I make sense.

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
From what very little I've seen of Ruby, I've seen enough to know Ellie's flaws are the same as Ruby's. Ruby is Ellie in 4 kids time.marjg wrote:They always talk about their future "our future house.

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
I went and watched today's vlog to see what you guys were talking about (well, just the part where they show their new house).
First of all... what's going on with Jared's hair? And those glasses... I really hope he doesn't go around thinking he's "cool".
So they will be changing a part of the closet so Ellie will have a vanity for a makeup area and Jared was excited for that bit bathtub... it would be nice to see them the same way, thinking about what they'll do for Jackson and Calvin, like "oh here we can put a swing set!" or "this will be the boys play area!" (maybe they've said stuff like that all the time but not on this vlog, I haven't been watching them regularly for a month) , I felt like I was watching that Shaytards video where they show their house where all that matters are Shay's needs, but in E&J's case it's even worst because both of them are self-centered.

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
What is Ruby's flaws? Focusing on the future way too much instead of enjoying their present?

It's funny because I remember a video in the summer of Jared and Ellie preaching about being content and not always "waiting" for the future ect. Lol

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
The vanity in the closet seems strange. I'd hate to get ready tucked away on my closet. I have a vanity right in my bedroom, a vintage piece from the 30s that I refinished. Something like that would add character. I wish I could help ellie decorate. Their current apartment makes me crazy. How can they stand not making it more homey?

Ellie + Jared: Part 9
Their lot looks fairly big but I don't think they are going to have much yard left with the hill and such a big house. I wonder how much they've thought that out. I would also hate how the houses behind them are tall and will look right down into their yard.
Also, why do we always see E&Js stuff and never the rooms for the boys?
I think the shower for the dog and kids is a bit much and a sign that Ellie is going to be a bit OTT about keeping the house clean/tidy .

Re: Ellie + Jared: Part 9
Their backyard will suck. They'll have to have a retaining wall. There's a reason that lot has been left empty while houses have gone up around it. When we built they tried to sell us a lot like that, so glad we backed out. Who wants a 20 ft retaining wall right outside their door?
