how in the world this family would have supported all those kids

When TLC cameras first met the Duggar family for 2004’s 14 Kids and Pregnant Again special, Arkansas parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were already doing quite well for themselves. Since then, thanks to an additional boost from TLC, the Duggars’ net worth has grown to an estimated $3.5 million.

Although we can’t all have lucrative reality TV contracts, most of us can learn a few things from the Duggars’ money philosophy…

After Jim Bob and Michelle married in 1984, he worked for various stints as an insurance salesman and car salesman. In 1990, after six years of using credit and gathering some debt, Jim Bob and Michelle attended a seminar on Jim Sammons’ Finding Financial Freedom program. (The seminar is endorsed by their religious organization.) The Duggars then vowed to get out of debt by not purchasing anything they didn’t have cash to cover at the time.

“I’ve learned self control and also a lot about construction,” Jim Bob said in a 2001 interview for Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

"We pray that as people watch our lives, they see that we are not a perfect family. We have challenges and struggles every day," the couple said. "It is one of the reasons we treasure our faith so much becauseGod's kindnessandgoodness and forgiveness are extended to us -- even though we are so undeserving. We hope somehow the story of our journey -- the good times and the difficult times --cause you to see the kindness of Godandlearn that Hecan bring you through anything."

Josh Duggar's wife Anna said he confessed the incidents to her two years before proposing marriage, and that she was "surprised at his openness and humility."
