Two and a Half Men Question

I'll admit I don't watch this show two regularly. I've been watching some reruns and saw the new episode that night. I'm trying to figure out why Alan is so poor? I thought he didn't have to pay Judith alimony after she married Ryan Stiles's character? I know chiropractor's don't make anything close to a doctor's salary but it seems like he should be doing ok, especially living rent free.

  • Isn't he paying alimony to Candy as well?  Also, he's just incredibly cheap.

  • Does Alan work?  For some reason I didn't think he did.

  • child support, alimony for two ex-wifes, I think he made a comment once about still paying for the house the Judith lives in but I don't really watch it all that often myself.

  • Great question.  I think he does work as a chiro and I think that you are right that he doesn't pay Judith anymore alimony, but probably still does pay child support.  I forgot about Candy.  Did he also have to pay when he burnt down his gf's house?

  • DH used to really like this show. But part of why it is so stupid now is because of this question exactly. He doesn't pay Judith alimony anymore. He hasn't paid rent (or utilities or perhaps even groceries) in years. Chiropractors are still doctors and earn a decent living. Even if he's still paying child support, he would have been paying that money if he had stayed married to Judith. There's no reason he is THAT poor and it's just kind of too stupid at this point.

  • In one episode, he talked about hoarding money and that's why he was so cheap.  I think he was hoarding money because he was really scared about his future/retirement "Old Alan".  But you'd think he'd have that money to fall back on when Charlie died if he had been saving money since that episode several seasons ago.
