The family has around §930 in funds, which wouldn't be so bad if it had any source of income other than Dustin's teen job. The family has a net worth of around §25,000, and Brandi does have one or two things which can be sold for cash, like her expensive bed, the big mirror in her room, all her ornomants, they could also swap the bath for a shower and by something else with the money of dustin's pinball machine.
