Teresa Giudice has already survived nearly three full months behind bars and in that time, her husband has yet to even begin looking for a job to support their four kids. While fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey have struggled for years in trying to figure out exactly what it is that he does with his days, we now know for sure that Joe Giudice isn't working. Teresa has been the family breadwinner and now, even while jailed and with limited access to the outside world, she is figuring out how to save her family financially.

According to a report by Radar Online, "The family is broke and has absolutely no money coming in ... and there is nothing in a savings or checking account. Joe still hasn't gotten a job, and isn't even looking. Teresa thinks she can land an advance from a publishing company. She has been keeping a meticulous journal about her experiences in prison. The family is being financially supported by Teresa's parents, and Joe's mom." explains an insider.

While her endorsement deals dried up last fall after she admitted to various financial crimes, her jailhouse diary is likely to score her another book deal. While RHONJ's fan base isn't nearly as supportive of Teresa as they once were, they will likely be curious enough about her time in prison to want to read all of the details from the fallen housewife herself.

As for her marriage, the fact that Joe isn't doing whatever it takes to provide for their kids is just one more strike against him. We told you the other day that after cheating allegations hit the press Teresa has banned him from jailhouse visits. There seem to be several good reasons to believe that this marriage will never survive, don't you think?
