Tom and Katie's Assets
Whack a crock of bull.
They are both making over 10K per EPISODE. I know this for a fact. They also have brand deals on social media and appearances. Maybe Katie does have only have 4k in savings account... but if thats the case there is no way that is her only savings account.
I also have a theory that Schwartz has a trust fund Katie its well aware of, but Schwartz just doesn't want the world to know about it. If thats the case, it would explain why Schwartz's parents were absent from the engagement party, and why Schwartz's mom didn't attend Katie's bridal shower. I think if three of the bridesmaids moms are there, the grooms mother would be there too in most cases.
Come to think of it, Schwartz, Kristen, and Ariana are the only ones who's mothers have never made an appearance. Maybe he comes from serious money and his wealthy parents want to be discrete...
