Kate Gosselin is frugal these days

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Gosselin has to be humble now that she’s not on TV! The mother of eight admits she has to be more frugal now that she has no regular income.

Kate’s “I’m living very carefully these days,” Gosselin tells People in its latest issue.

Kate says she’s making ends meet “piecing and patching together” an income from a variety of projects.

“I made so many mistakes, of course,” she says, admitting that her own diva-like behavior may have led to her current unemployed state.

“It feels like a whole other lifetime ago,” she says.

“And sometimes I don’t even remember much of it. Both when the babies were first born and during the divorce, I was on survival mode.

“I feel like I’ve lived two lifetimes already. I’m not the same person I was … I don’t even recognize her.”
