It’s R Life - Part 2: Buying, Lying, and Rudely Replying

[Glass Half Full]

In today’s video, Daniel and the boys drove up to Disney to “surprise” Kendal and the girls. That look totally planned. Why did the boys drive up for only a few hours?!? This makes no sense. They all appeared to leave foe home in the afternoon because they had to get home to Evie who was with a friend.

Remember the night before is when Kendal was on that Instagram rant about mean girls.

And to think she was going to do Disney vlogs. She didn’t do anything there and all her filming is done in the gondola all the time?!?

Such a strange video. I see Daniel is still unemployed.

Her Disney vlog would have been about Epcot and their festivals. Kendal doesn’t even like the rest of the parks. Imagine buying annual tickets so you can hang out in Starbucks in Hollywood studios. That seems like a very expensive Starbucks.

You should check out It’s the Donnellys on IG. They too are in Disney. Actually enjoying themselves. They seem to have been given a free trip by Disney too. A lovely positive family. The dad has a real job. The kids are older teens who do well in life. The eldest is in college. The girl who is the same age as Evie has had the same boyfriend for the past two years. The youngest boy is polite and grateful for his life. Just a really nice family

So Kendal plans a girls trip to Disney and persuades them to do what she wants
Let’s eat lunch here, let’s eat breakfast there. Let’s go to Epcot. Let’s go to Epcot again because it was raining. Let’s go to Epcot because the queues in Hollywood studios are too long and anyway I won’t ride any rides.

Regarding the boys surprise trip…Daniel only talks about Sebi and talks to Sebi. Kendal hugs Sebi. Does Hampton even exist? Pushed around in the stroller (a regular double stroller for toddlers…not a medical stroller for big kids).

They won’t be back at Disney for a while. Isn’t cheer summit in Disney?

This!!
She kept saying it was the girls day and they should choose what they want but when Kapri said animal kingdom and mentioned she knew Kendall didn’t like it, Kendal washed over it. … but it was for them? It appears the girls like Epcot too but definitely seemed to want animal kingdom also. But of course it’s either always evie or Kendal and seeing as evie wasn’t there, no matter how much she wanted to say it was the girls day- she controlled it

I think it’s very telling that on Evie’s latest IG pictures there is neither a comment nor a like from Dominick or his sister.
Also, on Kendal’s stories Evie is singing (term used lightly ) along to ABCDEFU and again, reading between the lines..it’s directed at Dominick, referencing his sister and his mom….both of whom are/were friends with Evie and Kendal.

AND on Evie’s beach photos, someone (it’s actually a girl she met at the Varsity photo shoot and knows Evie) has commented about how perfect Evie is and this is why NO guy deserves her. She wouldn’t comment this if Evie still had a boyfriend.

Last i checked Dom & Evie still follow each other on ig but Dom posted a photo a few days ago that Evie hasnt liked. We havent seen Dom's sister in a while, funny how they made a tik tok callng themselves "sh*t talkers" , i wonder how Isabella feels now that Evies sh*t talking got turned around on her. Lets just wait til things start to blow up, with this family at some point things always do.

“I’m perfect so nobody deserves me” is legit the most narcissistic thing I’ve ever heard. for anyone aboutta date her

I dont think Evie believes that or else she wouldn't be throwing herself at every guy she comes across. Its probably her defense mechanism or excuse as to why she cant keep ANYONE around. Thats such a Kendal way of thinking & look where it got her. She posted a tik tok a little while ago saying- "Brain: no one will love you......Heart: I know". I dont know if thats how she really feels or if its just for pity & attention. Knowing Evie its probably for attention.

Dad Challenge:

The most interesting thing about what Josh says is that the family is estimated to make $20-30k per month from YouTube. Also someone here noted that their timing on that house has netted them maybe $400k in equity already when interest rates were really low and if they used the equity from their NC house as a down payment, their monthly payments shouldn't be too outrageous.

So what gives? Even if they spend $3k a month on eating out, $2k on Target crap and $10k a month on kids' activities, they should be fine. They could go on a financial diet, but they probably write off most of this stuff anyway.

That's why I think it's unlikely that Daniel is getting a job to improve the family finances. He's a starter level engineer with a bachelor's degree and a gap in his work history. He'll probably make between $60-$80k and it will probably take him a couple years to make it through an interview process because those starter level engineer jobs are so competitive. His family would probably make his annual salary in a month of challenges. So I really don't think this decision is about money. I suspect it's about mental health and home just being a really unhappy place.

I don’t think that’s an accurate estimation of their income. Kendal said herself they are stressed about finances and this will make them less stressed. There’s no way they are pulling in that much money based on views and follower count.

I also don’t think it’ll take years to find a job. Engineering jobs are a dime a dozen. It might not be as well paying as he hopes, but he’ll have a job by end of the year.

Agree..20k a month is probably what Kendal made during her summer 2019 hiatus but those days and money are LONG gone

Hello everyone! We're a couple of pages shy of needing a new thread. Please list your suggestions below in the comments and I will select a winner for Part 3

I agree. There’s no way they are earning this amount per month. I would love to have someone who actually understands YT payments to be able explain what these vloggers are earning. The Rich family is definitely not rich. 20k per month would mean they could afford proper holidays, Disney cruises, flights to cheer competitions etc. These guys can’t even afford sun loungers for their pool area.

Here we go again! I wonder who this is for (sarcasm)

I definitely do not believe she and Dominick are still together. I wonder how this is going down with Dominick’s mother aka kendals friend.
Also from his IG it would appear that Dominick was visiting colleges. I wonder if Evie feels like she’s missing out because she’s not going to college. I actually think she’d like to but Kendal has brainwashed her into believing education outside the home is bad. Everything,e Kendal is asked on IG if her kids would like to go to school (in person) SHE says no. I wonder if the kids feel the same way.

Yall we all know if Kendal was actually still pulling that kind of money she would have financed a $70k Land Rover by now like the used to talk about wanting. She’s speedy and financially irresponsible— if she had it, she’d spend it up! With the way she is, she certainly wouldn’t still be driving that crusty minivan.

Around the 27 minute mark, Josh pulls up their analytics FROM THE LAST 30 DAYS. Then he says "Holy shit... If this is correct, they are still pulling in twenty a month--thirty a month. So what are they talking about? How much money do you need Kendal?"

Also around the nineteen minute mark, Kendal complains that Daniel spends all day editing videos and that she's left all of the childcare responsibilities. Josh then comes back saying that it takes him less than three hours to both film and edit a video. He also says that Daniel has been editing long enough that he should be a lot more efficient. It sounds like Daniel is looking for excuses to get away from his family. If that is true, it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that he is getting a job to get away from his family.

Josh's pull of the analytics combined with the growth in their home's equity leads me to believe that they are not yet out of options financially. Their lack of plane rides, nice vacations, cruises, etc might be explained by the fact that Kendal is afraid to go to a pool in her own gated community alone. It's possible that she really just can't handle that much novelty and she is driven to repeat the same experiences over and over and over again. Starbucks. Target. Starbucks. Target. Starbucks. Target. The channel is Groundhogs Day in real life.

Starter engineering jobs are more competitive than you think. If you consider the statistics, the average time it takes for a new college grad to get their first engineering job is about two years. Sometimes hundreds of people apply for one job. It can take a long time for HR to sift through applications, go over transcripts (in engineering, your college grades do matter) and check references. And then it's usually a multi-interview process over 6+ months. After you that negotiate salary which can also take a while. These hiring processes tend to be very expensive for companies, so they go through a lot of trouble to weed out flakes find someone who is willing to grow with them. And Daniel quit his last job without another prospect on the line, so employers might see that as a red flag.
