Ellie and Jared: Hide and Seek....guess where Mommy is.....in bed! | Part #128

[YTIG60]

There's no way a bank would approve a nearly $1m loan if they didn't have a means to pay that. I'm guessing they saved quite a bit of money during their YouTube years when they were popular and views were high. I heard popular YouTubers were pulling in millions at one time with their vlogs and sponsorships. The savings, rentals or any other investments they may have has to be substantial. Of course putting all those investments into one big house is ridiculous. They should be saving for retirement, colleges, etc. but they aren't thinking that far ahead. They are both fools that way and it will come back to bite them (like K&C).

I think Bonnie and Joel bought them out of their interest with the 50+ acres land investment and Bollie. This could explain the strain with the sisters last year. It is possible the rental house is with Jared's sibling that their parents now live in.
I don't doubt they've saved during their more profitable years, but the question is do they have ongoing income coming in? Diversifying in real estate "a little bit" could mean anything, but to think it is bringing in millions like they were seeing during some YouTube years from real estate investment(s) is questionable.
My though with Jared was the one who wanted to build related to he wanted to relaunch their YouTube channel, but yes, Ellie wants new everything. I think Jared might regret the decision to leave YouTube that did provide some income especially during their first house building phase.

Rent ain’t cheap in st George, the are probably paying close to 3,000 in rent right now. My sisters in laws just moved there and they are renting a small 2 bedroom home and paying around 2,500 dollars a month plus utilities. I’m just so confused where Ellie and Jared are getting the income. But then, maybe Jared does have a job and that’s one of the reasons they moved so suddenly. Maybe they decided not to tell their YouTube “friends” (i hate when you tubers call their subscribers friends) that Jared had to find a job so they made it seem like the move was for Ellie’s health. I don’t know, I’m just trying to figure out why and how a bank could give them a million dollar loan when they have little income coming in since ghosting their YouTube channel. The only explanation is that Jared had to get a 9-5 and maybe he is embarrassed.

When they first moved into the rental, I remember looking up the property and the owner was a woman with the last name Mecham. So they are probably renting from a family member and got a good discount. Money doesn't seem to be an issue with them so hopefully Ellie will be happy with the new build but I highly doubt it.

Money didn’t seem to be an issue with C&K either.

People who spend recklessly usually don’t stress too much while they are spending. It’s once their loans have maxed out and the savings is gone that they usually have to buckle down and face reality.

The initial property people found was for the wrong Jared Scott Mecham. There is another one in Utah. His wife was the woman listed as an owner. Is this what you’re maybe thinking of?

The place they are currently in is owned by an LLC (registered to someone who isn’t a Mecham) and it’s been a rental property since at least 2018. Rent is $2250 plus an additional monthly fee for pets and washer/dryer use. It’s managed by a property management company. It was listed multiple places online before they moved in, so if it does belong to family they didn’t choose to move to Saint George knowing they’d move in there.

I remember finding the house and it said something about the owner (or former owner) being someone named Lindsay Mecham. Jared's name was never on it. Maybe that particular site was wrong? It is definitely the house though. I don't want to give the address.

I don't understand why people are so willing to believe that Ellie and Jared are raking it in, or have millions in savings. They may or may not have made a profit from the Ice Palace, but I doubt they did because Ellie did so many upgrades and that ridiculous yard was expensive.
Even if they do have money, they are spending like there's no tomorrow. All of Ellie's lab tests from that chiropractor, the MRI she _had_ to have NOW that insurance didn't pay for, her 70 pairs of shoes, name-brand everything (remember the Burberry coat she had to have for Seattle?) all the stupid trips for Bollie, etc. Even if they have savings, it's not going to last at the rate they're going.

Errrr what is Ellie doing in the intro to this new video? She is acting so fake and over the top it's painful to watch. I guess she's usually so downbeat and irritable all the time that when she acts fake-peppy it really just seems so abnormal. I guess she's thrilled that she's going to look at million dollar houses and can pick out anything she wants for her own. Again.

[HelloSweetie]

Jared is a fool. Ellie needs to have whatever is the best and he should know this by now. The last thing I would do is walk her through a 5 million dollar home so she can immediately decide she needs MORE.

Ellie is manic af in this video because she gets a real thrill off feeling superior. She thinks building a fancier than average home makes people envy her, and she lives for that. It’s when she’s feeling average that she gets quiet and sulky (oh sorry.... has “eye pain”). Normal life isn’t good enough. They always have to be doing the next best thing.

Those poor kids. I can’t imagine how toxic that home is with that up and down mentality.

Listening to today's vlog and them raving about the views with the five million dollar home, I wonder if they have some buyer's regret with their present lot, just like they do with their previous backyard. They are going to wake up to a privacy wall dividing properties.They were so stuck on having a flat lot due to the error they made with their previous home, they couldn't see some of the lots they looked at were much nicer or they should have waited for a better one to come on the market. There is a familiar theme-> they have chosen the last lot again in a well establish older development. Going back to they have so much money...them cutting corners with the lot makes me think they don't have an infinite amount of money to build the home.
Bonnie's and Joel's land is far superior to what Ellie and Jared chosen in properties when it comes to Utah that has breathtaking views. Bonnie's view of the reservoir and the mountains in the background is a five million dollar view. I bet this irks Ellie since in the end I think Bonnie will end up with the nicer home.

Okay whoa I've fallen down an hours-long hole of early days E&J after reading about their old Mother's day pregnancy announcement in the Bonnie thread and trying to understand it (I must have started watching them right around that time and somehow totally missed it!). So basically now I can't stand these two more than I ever thought possible because holy shit that was actually insane. During this I also dug up this video where Ellie is incredibly rude about some Walmart worker who didn't obey her immediate beck and call in the manner Ellie saw fit and so she reported her to the manager (starts at 4:05). What a bitch!! Something else I found interesting from the old 2017 threads on E&J was that people used to think Calvin was Ellie's favorite and that they neglected Jackson, whereas now it seems people think Jackson is the major favorite. Just kind of interesting! Other than that, not much has changed!

wow yeah, she lacks so much social etiquette. she didn't even address the workers she just came round the corner and yelled in their direction?! they clearly thought she was talking to her child. to which she then felt embarrassed and had to drag everyone else down in the situation to how she was feeling. such a lack of intelligence.

[HelloSweetie]

The Walmart thing definitely opened a bunch of people’s eyes at the time.

Calvin was definitely Ellie’s favourite when he was little. Jackson preferred his dad and said “no” to Ellie a lot because he was a normal toddler testing boundaries. At some point Jackson learned that he gets his mom’s affection by supporting her emotionally. He tells her he wants a baby sister and he helps her clean her house. Calvin prefers to be left alone and just do his own thing now. He’s no longer as useful to Ellie, so he dropped down the pecking order.

The changes to Jackson are really sad. He used to be the sweetest YT kid, but now he’s just another obnoxious kid playing things up for the cameras.

I feel bad for all those kids. They spend everyday hanging out at a work zone. Ellie’s entire life is that home build right now. She has no time for the kids. They spend every waking moment with her, yet somehow I feel like they get zero attention. She’s either napping, online researching or watching tv. Makes sense that Jackson would have learned that bringing up wanting a baby makes his mother happy and attentive.

Ellie made it too big deal at the time that someone ''ignored'' her. (well after all, how dared they, as she's the princess Ellie )
Probably the person didn't know she was talking to him first, and if she had to say excuse, so what?
After all, we do not see them ignoring her on video, we have only her word of it.

I've been working in customer service and it sucks big time because of entitled people like her.
I don't want to excuse bad behavior on customer service part and maybe she was ignored, BUT she should have handled it out of camera. She just made herself look like pompous ass.

edit: now that I've looked the video again, there were 2 employees there. Ellie claims that ''she'' ingored her and then when she says excuse me, a male voice answered her. After that she filmed them both walking away, and ''she'' walked away with slumping posture, someone quite young/teenage looking. I would assume just by seeing that she was probably a newbie or trainee who truly didn't know how to answer her about the balls and that's why they were walking as a pair. Whatever the situation was, Ellie shouldn't have shown that at all in their vlog but she thought that of course all the viewers are on her side and she can use it as a ''lesson'' and preach.

[Sickandtired]

I stopped watching when Ellie refused to take Calvin to the ER after he stopped breathing. He also had (I think) 2 more episodes and she shrugged it off. I think Jared eventually took it seriously and had some tests run but Ellie acted like it was nothing and they shouldn’t be wasting money on it (har har, look at all the money she is wasting on herself now with her non existent health issues). I haven’t watched a single vlog since then and I only hate watch them on Instagram. Ellie’s privileged self absorb attitude is really off putting and Jared is so loud and annoying.

I just watched that Walmart clip on mute and it was, believe it or not, even WORSE without the sound. Her facial expressions are astounding. The entitlement is revolting.

They received a lot of negative feedback from viewers since many felt the Walmart employees didn't want to be filmed and she never asked for their permission. Additionally, there was negative feedback with her choice to find a manager to show her the footage. I think this was the beginning of viewers questioning Ellie's personality. It got worse when she was critical of blue-collar workers building their first house including a passive aggressive remark about how tile wasn't installed to her specification with a bathroom floor. Or being irritable when their house wasn't built on time. This resulted in remarks in their comments section from wives of husbands who were in the building trades, not happy with her criticism.
Ellie has never seen viewer as customers and tried to ensure their satisfaction or responded well to feedback. I would say this is true with ALL the Griffiths sisters since they are all very defensive. Jared likely has been more aware of the snooty Ellie problems, and I can't image how much he has edited out of vlogs over the years.

[Z3phyr]

The Griffiths girls are the poster-women for inferiority complex. Their less than upper middle class upbringing really bothers them. The fact that they had to become virtual court jesters and child exploiters to rise a rung on the economic ladder has to really get under their skin.

Oh man, this is some seriously good insight. You're totally right. They think they've done so well for themselves but in the backs of their minds they must know they have had to act like fools and sell their families' privacy to earn their money.

She was literally gloating and gleeful that she could report to the manager and get those employees into trouble
