90 Day Fiance: Ashley Is Heavily Indebted! But How?
90 Day Fiance stars Manuel Velez and Ashley Michelle got into a massive fight after the latter made a shocking revelation. They often went through many ups and downs, with money being a significant issue in their lives. In June, Ashley revealed that she was burdened with a substantial amount of debt. This shocked her husband, who wasn’t aware of it.
Ashley has taken around $100,000 as a student loan. Hearing the amount, Manuel told her she needed to know how to save money without splurging it on things like coffee. This revelation surprised him to the core since he thought she was the reason for sending money to his family. Due to this debt reason, they had escalating issues in their marriage.

90 Day Fiance star Manuel Velez is now enjoying his independence in the U.S. after a long time. He recently took to Instagram to post a video of himself driving a car without Ashley’s help. It seems he has obtained his much-awaited driver’s license in the country. The video featured him wearing a seatbelt and enjoying music in the background.
Although Manuel didn’t add a caption to his post, his excitement about being able to drive on his own without Ashley was visible. He is no longer just a passenger with his wife. One of his fans praised Manuel and commented, “I love to see you more independent!!!” Fans know how his life was screwed when Ashley wasn’t filing his visa paperwork on time.
But Manuel’s latest milestone indicated he has established himself in the U.S. The video of him showed his radiant face since he is happier than ever. He is independent and drives on his own whenever and wherever he wants. Moreover, he has regained his confidence regarding traveling. Before his independence, he posted videos of Ashley driving the car and him singing songs to her.
It’s important to note Manuel has yet to purchase his vehicle. Right now, he drives Ashley’s private car. Nevertheless, his newfound freedom could land him a great job that could fulfill his dream of buying his car. So far, fans loved his exciting new chapter.
