“This isn’t reality for most to be able to do who live paycheck to paycheck and have debt. Tips,” one user wrote in an Instagram Story Q&A on Saturday, June 27, seemingly referring to Gates’ income bracket.<\/p>\n

“Going back to this topic for a second. I totally get that because that was ME!” Gates, 34, replied in an Instagram Story post. “I don’t want anyone to feel as though I am trying to make anyone feel less than. That was my story, too. But you don’t see that part, but I’m trying to show a bit more of the place I was in over 10 years ago & how I got out of it.”<\/p>\n

Gates explained that she doesn’t feel like “people remember how broke, how in debt, how bad of credit, etc [she] had.”<\/p>\n

“The high school I graduated from had free and reduced lunches for the whole school because of our poverty level. I can go into more but there’s so much to the story including a lot of chance and luck (ECCLESIASTES 9:11) but also a lot of grinding, failing and discipline,” she wrote. “I do believe there’s always a way for things to be better and if we lose sight of that, that’s when we can’t take the next steps, whatever that may look like.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “I knew this topic would bring a lot of emotions from people so I’m not sure I should have even shared but I am trying to be more open and also sensitive to others. But all in all to encourage and say I KNOW how it feels & I believe in you and that your situation can get better.”<\/p>\n

Gates also shared details about her income with husband Adam Gottschalk<\/strong> in a post that she has since appeared to have deleted but was reviewed by Us Weekly.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gates met Gottschalk, 36, on the beaches of Bachelor in Paradise<\/em> season 4 in 2017. The couple ultimately got engaged two years later but had to postpone their nuptials multiple times amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Gates and Gottschalk went on to tie the knot<\/a> in 2021. The pair have since welcomed sons Gates and Max<\/a> in 2022 and 2023, respectively.<\/p>\n

The reality stars celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in April, with Gottschalk sharing a sweet compilation of five photos through the years via Instagram<\/a>. “Happy anniversary baby,” he wrote at the time. “5 years & 5 pics with you \ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffc.”<\/p>\n
