    Love her or hate her (and there's a lot of hate from some of you), there's no denying that Mama June of TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is making some smart financial decisions when it comes to her girls' futures.

    As recently reported to TMZ, the majority of earnings from the show ($15-20k/episode) are deposited directed into trust funds for her four daughters and granddaughter Kaitlyn. True to her redneck roots, June is quoted as saying, "You're never gonna see me drive a Range Rover or a Mercedes. I'll drive one if someone else pays for it. Never gonna live above my means." Their "means" seem to get paid the same way they always did, with Papa Sugarbear's contractor job.

    Based on her obvious desire to support her girls well into their future, as well as instill into each of them the best self-esteem and self-worth she can, community comments such as those posted below seem overly harsh. No parent is perfect, but June loves these girls. Maybe it's time we throw a little love Mama June's way too?
