Only a few original couples of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way have continued to be in the public eye. While a majority of them were forgotten, Jenny Slatten and her Indian boyfriend Sumit Singh remained to be fan-favorite. In fact, they are so popular that they’ll soon appear on another season of the TLC spin-off. However, since Jenny is living in India with Sumit, fans are wondering how the couple survives. Questions about Singh’s professions are also often raised. So, here is everything you need to know about the same.
90 Day Fiance: What Does Sumit Do For A Living?
The initial storyline of this unique couple was quite complicated. Jenny and Sumit met online and fell in love. However, they both lied about their ages and were shocked to know the truth when they met. At that time, Sumit was working at a call center. Later on, he left that job and joined another one, but didn’t reveal the details. But, in an interview with Cheatsheet, he revealed that he recently started working part-time as a chef in a friend’s cafe. He revealed that he barely works three to four hours in a day, so it doesn’t pay him a lot.
Now, the average salary of a full-time chef of an average cafe/restaurant in India is estimated to be around 40,000 INR for a month. Hence, Sumit might be earning even less than $500-550 a month, given that he only works part-time. However, now that he is living with Jenny, his expenses might have only increased. Well, the couple could be earning some amount from appearing on TLC. But they only film for a part of a year, which can’t be enough to pay their yearly expenses.
90 Day Fiance: How Do Sumit & Jenny Survive On $500/Month With Their Luxurious Lifestyle?
Before Covid-19 hit the world, Jenny has moved to India to live with her 90 Day Fiance. She left her life in the US entirely, including her Palm Springs Resort Job and family. The TLC star surely made many sacrifices since she took a 30 percent penalty on her social security benefits by taking them out early. Now that she has moved to India, she does not have a job. But she brought along her $401K for her survival that included her savings and social security money.
Fans suspect that the lifestyle Sumit and Jenny live is much better than someone with a $500/month salary can have. The couple often shows-off their social life, including going for expensive dinners, bars and vacations on Instagram. On the other hand, Sumit still has to pay his $20,000 debt to his parents that they paid to file for his divorce. So, a lot of people suspect that it might be Jenny that is taking care of her and Sumit’s expenses. What do you think about the same? Share your opinions in the comments below.
