Tyler, now 30, tagged along to his mother’s haircut in the throwback clip where he shared some thoughts about Catelynn’s future.
At the time, Catelynn wasn’t considering any college.
In the Teen Mom OG clip, the star confessed it would bother him if Catelynn wouldn’t go to college.
Tyler commented: “I’m going to be with someone who doesn’t have goals.”
He said: “If she doesn’t go to school, I’d probably be gone, honestly.”
Tyler continued: “I can’t be on this rung of the ladder and her down on this rung. We have to climb it together.”
Even though the couple are still married, fans weren’t pleased with Tyler’s words in the old clip.
One fan posted in an online fan forum: “Tyler is a hypocrite. Neither of them finished college, correct?”

A second said: “This is pretty rich considering I think he made it through like, one semester of community college?”
Yet a third fan slammed: “Tyler already thinks in this clip he’s up here on the ladder and Cate’s down below even though he ain’t done anything, either.
“He will always think she’s below him for their entire lives no matter what she does.”
A fourth posted: “Listen to Tyler… like he’s about to start pre-med. Climb down from your high horse already!”
Although the pair- who now share three daughters- have been through their rough spots, after 13 years of dating they married back in 2015.
Catelynn and Tyler are now facing other problems beyond education.
CASH CRISIS
The U.S. Sun exclusively reported Catelynn and Tyler still owe over $321,000 in taxes after the duo was slammed for begging fans for money.
Despite income from an upcoming Teen Mom spinoff, the reality stars still owe $321,789.06.
They were hit with the federal tax lien back on December 16, 2019 for the 2018 year.
Catelynn and Tyler paid off a massive federal tax lien for $535,010.97 for the 2016 and 2017 years in 2021.
FAN BACKLASH
The tax debt comes as the parents of Carly, who they placed for adoption, Novalee, Vaeda and Rya begged followers for cash.
Recently, Catelynn posted a photo of a fundraising donation sign-up sheet for Novalee’s Tiny Tulip’s cheerleading squad.
Catelynn explained in the caption: “Nova is looking for sponsors you can literally pick ANY number on this page and pay the number!”
She continued: “So if you pick number 20 then you would donate $20! The donations would help with uniforms, practice, and competitions!”
The TV personality concluded: “Anything helps thank you so much!… [I] can’t believe I’m gonna be a cheerleader mom.”
Catelynn, who turned off the comments on the post, received backlash.
One person wrote: “This is a very strange use of her platform. She and Tyler could afford to donate for Nova and [every] other kid on the team probably.”
A second fan commented: “… Y’all should have plenty of money. Go sponsor another child. I’m honestly shook.”
“This is just embarrassing and so cringe,” another added.
BUSINESSS VENTURES
Tyler and Catelynn were once owners of children’s clothing business Tierra Reign, but the company has been inactive for over a year now.
Tyler also has flipped and sold homes, as he currently owns property in addition to the $220,000 Octagon-shaped home they currently live in.
He also sold their Burtchville, Michigan home for $175,000 on October 29, 2020.
Tyler got more than his asking price, as he listed the home for $169,900 on June 26, 2020.
The star made a $101,560 profit, as he bought the home on March 7, 2016 for $73,440.
Teen Mom fans watched Catelynn pursue a career in microblading eyebrows, which she continues to do today.
The two also make income from the show and Instagram ads.
Despite their tax troubles, the reality stars fortunately have saved for their children.
Tyler revealed during an interview with Awesome Dad Show earlier this year that his daughters are “set up for life” financially because of their compensation from the MTV series.
He said: “College is paid for and that was mine and Catelynn’s main thing – each of our children has trust funds that money goes into and they can’t touch.”
Catelynn and Tyler will star in the upcoming new series Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
