Full House’s Jodie Sweetin Recalls Learning ‘Humility’ After Being Unable to Afford Items at Target
Jodie Sweetin says working ordinary jobs after sobriety and financial hardship helped her rebuild confidence before returning to acting.
- 44-Year-Old actress Jodie Sweetin recently opened up about her past financial struggles, revealing that addiction led her to live in a one-bedroom apartment with her two children and less than $200 in her bank account.
- After achieving sobriety in 2011, Sweetin worked as a logistics coordinator at a Los Angeles treatment center, insisting she "didn't care" about working a "normal job" because she needed to pay her children's expenses.
- She earned $2,200 monthly with her parents covering half the rent, and recalled learning "humility" at Target when she lacked sufficient funds on her debit card.
- Financial relief arrived when the Netflix revival Fuller House launched in 2016, though Sweetin admitted she still had to borrow money during her first week and entered her first paycheck with only $190.
- Now married to clinical social worker Mescal Wasilewski, Sweetin said she learned to embrace a "bloom where you're planted" mindset, finding happiness regardless of her circumstances rather than fixating on past expectations.
