According to Radar Online, Nadya Suleman (aka “The
Octo-Mom”) spends over $500 a year on her gym membership. This has at least a few people in an
uproar, seeing as she was photographed heading to the gym yesterday- moments
after filing for bankruptcy.
Me? I’m proud of her
busting a move at a measly 10 bucks a week.
First of all, she lives outside of Los Angeles, home of the
world’s most extravagant gyms/beauty pageants. While I’d like to reveal what I pay for my own gym
membership, I can’t, because I don’t have one. BUT, I know several people that pay upwards of $200 a month
for theirs. ($40/month suddenly
seems like a bargain, right?)

Secondly, I should hope that any single mother of fourteen
children is doing all she can to preserve her health and well-being. The longer those hungry, misbehaved and
Nickelodeon addicted children remain their mother’s responsibility, the better…
right? (Or wrong? I'm actually unsure about this one...)
Lastly, Suleman receives government assistance to care for
her children. Welfare helps put
food on her table, and common sense suggests that she receives state
benefits for medical costs. So,
shouldn’t it then be her duty to care for herself to the best of her ability?
Most importantly… anytime that she spends NOT pro-creating seems time
well-spent to me.
