You know those busy days when you’ve got a long list of errands to run? Get the oil changed, send off the package for Grandma’s birthday, pay a fine at the library, pick up clarinet reeds for the middle schooler, buy a dress shirt for Hubby, get the groceries for the week… In my head I can hear Gail, “You went shopping on the 5th and the 5th and the 5th and the 5th and the 5th and the 5th…”
I love this show. My mother never had a grip of her finances and when she became sick in alzheimers disease, i took over her finances, and it was chocking. She had been living on borrowed money prob her whole adult life. She had 40k in consumer debt and she owned nothing of value, not even a car. 1,5 years later, i have paid off all her loans but one, and the last one she will be paying until she passes away because there is no more extra money to pay anything after she is 66 years old. She now lives in a smaller apartment, in the middle of the city; has a view of the water and a small weekly budget, food and entertainment with walks and dogs 5 days a week. We have a closer relationship than ever and i’m so grateful for this.
She makes quite a bit more than he does - he won't say anything to her because of that. Men are used to being the main breadwinner. Dave needs to take charge.
Wendy is a a grade a shopaholic. She spends because it makes her feel better. It's like an addiction. It is heartbreaking to know that this lady ended up in a Retirement Home and even they are expensive. My Uncle had to put my mother in one and it broke his heart. He didn't have a choice. She ended up blind, lost a leg to diabetes and had alzheimers.
Same. I'm too lazy to move stuff. I need nothing on the floors, like floor lamps, baskets, plants.... Things I need to move. No knick knacks on shelves. Most of my furniture goes right down to the floor for no gaps where Is need to dust. I need to zip in and out on one or two passes with a wet rag on a reusable Swiffer end. No sir, no ma'am. Too lazy.
@@MsSimpleMovies this is why we have wood and tile floors. No carpet, because I ain't gonna scrub juice out of carpet when I can just swiffer and be done.
one episode the woman had a terrible attitude so they still had to pay her the total amount ..she called her lawyer on the show and it was settled off camera
Grocery shopping 1 time a week with a shopping list helps save money. Especially if it includes lunch foods and you pack your lunch for work. It's better for you than eating out too. 👍
Agreed. Ive gotten very strict about a list. If I go to the store without one Im guarenteed to forget half of what I need and waste money on junk I dont need.
I had a list this week paid like $60 less when I forgot my grocery list last week. Also when I went shopping this week notice most other shoppers also had a list.
What a lovely couple they are! You could tell that their relationship is rock solid despite financial difficulties. Really hoping they are thriving now. I’d love this show to come back with updates on the original couples
@dreamland It was a long time ago I saw them (there were like 3 episodes I think) and I saw them on whatever channels website had this show.. I am thinking Slice or the Womens Network website so online but not on the Tube of You :)
In Germany you go to prison for not paying your debt. If you are already in debt and continue to buy more putting yourself further into debt you also get charged with fraud and that adds to your confinement time in prison.
This is the reason why I don't shop unless it very important items that I need, when I was younger in my early 20's I stared with one credit card and then I end up with close to 10 credit card and not including store cards but I learn my less and it took me years to fix my credit so now I have great credit with low interest rate and I barely use my cards.
I used to do that... then Corona hit... now I don't even go out of the house.. grocery shopping is difficult too... I spent whole winter walking with just one leggings and one jacket...
You can listen to Dave Ramsey. He's been teaching people for nearly 30 years to get out of debt and stay out of debt. He's based near Nashville. Look him up, you might get hooked. And you can get his advice for free, but he does have a program if you would like to join (for a fee) for extra benefits to you. Good luck👍
@@dianem4188 Dave was the only one I could think of, as well. Suzy Ormon used to have a show, but I think people like this format in the "reality tv" style.
I will never understand people that make so much and have so much debt. My husband and I made about $75k - $85k between our two salaries and we have a 4,250 sqft 5 bdrm home that we've paid down by 1/8th, two condos and no consumer debt (not even vehicles). It's not how much money you make. It's how you use it. Good for them for asking for help though - this type of show invites so much judgement and criticism when they took the right steps to fix it. None of us are perfect.
When did you make that? The 90s? My parents bought their house in 93 for 120k. It’s worth 500k now. People should be responsible but boomers need to understand that they had the best economy and we likely won’t ever see that again.
I have watched many of Gail's videos, read her book, watched literally 100s maybe 1000s of videos on debt and personal finance and have and read north of 100 books on this subject. It's a hobby. I watched this video several times I really like this couple. A lot of people know admit they need to change but don't want to take the steps necessary. Not this couple they stepped right in and made the most of it. Their total consumer debt load was about 40% of their total gross income. Not good but not as awful as ours which was about 80% of our annual household income. It took us a lot longer than the projected 18 month's Gail laid out for them but we did it. I wish this couple well I realize this was filmed years ago. It really comes down to being ready. If you are ready you are ready, if you are not ready, you will be offended.
I do t understand people getting upset over not having holidays. I’ve been away for two nights in the last 4/5 years. I feel very relaxed because my bills are paid and my Mortgage is ahead
I go to estate sales. The amount of worthless items is unbelievable. I wish there was a way to see the total of how many thousands , the woman of the house wasted. I was married to a shopaholic. Never again!! He would have let us starve to death as long as he could shop.
I believe you... but why do you assume the "woman of the house" from the estate sales wasted the money, when it was actually the "man of the house" who wasted yours?
@@anniealexander9616 True, yet as a fellow estate sale aficionada I do see plenty of electronics, duplicate tools, garden items, stereos, BBQs, as well. I just hate to code money waste as being exclusively male or female.... You know what I mean!
@@hollystump1 Oh I definitely don't think it's female only. My buddy has a theory. He is male and looking for those things. His thoughts are that the man dies first. So, the husband's things have already been sold off. I think he is correct. I've seen a couple of sale where the man was definitely shopping. I bought his boom box. It was only $10. There was a pool table, nice grill, golf clubs, records, and lots of clothes. I've seen the over bought tools as well. They are just rare.
With the good Incomes they make, and with Gail’s plan, they will have a completely non-stressful life as far as finances go. Now for the discipline to stick to it!
I was the spender in the family but I was in charge of buying everything so she probably too much but she’s given the task to buy everything. Glad kids and husband are now given more responsibility.
Money management has to be taught to children.Making good choices, learning which product offers best value for money and delaying gratification have to become habits in a society that pushes for mindless consumption. I've seen 8 year old kids having intense discussions over which candy and how much offered greatest satisfaction ....2 larger plain chocolate bars over 1 bar with fruits and nuts!
It took me decades and good therapy to achieve control over my compulsiveshopping It will always be a day to day effort, and control is never a guarantee. But I'm several years into " sobriety" and vigilant. Feeling good ..
Hi peekaboo.. I had the exact same reaction when I saw her saying she was going to get rid of the Crock-Pot that she didn't use it. I don't know what I would do without mine. I actually have two. One small one and one big enough to do larger batches of like soups and stews. And I am a one person household. LOL. Glad to have the big one in order to do an entire chicken at one time. But I did buy the bigger one at a thrift store for $6.99.
The crock pot needed to go to someone who would use it. Too many of us buy things because we will use it "some day." "Some day" never comes. Or, if it does, it's once in 5 years. My crock pot owning friend would gladly loan me hers for that one use. Otherwise, it's not only a space taker and/or an item that needs to be periodically cleaned, it is an indictment against our cooking. A silent judge, if you will. Reminding us of failure to cook for our families. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. We are shamed by the evidence of our unrealized goals: the size 4 outfits, the free weights, the paint supplies. Chuck them all! Someone else will certainly appreciate them.
I work like everyday some weeks so I tend to do all my errands on the same day when I’m off…so Gail would roast me for that because it looks like I went shopping a lot on the one day 😂 Also I work at a grocery store so 2-3 purchases at the grocery store per day is normal for me.
I can't get over the nonchalant attitude that so many people have when it comes to spending money. Like, no thinking twice about whether they actually need the item or can realistically afford it (and most, it seems, cannot without using credit). Some people just seem to have this mindset that "there will always be more money" or "I'll find the money somewhere/somehow to pay for this item". Is it any wonder a show like TDDUP exists in the first place? There's no end to the number of reckless spenders. Nobody seems willing to save for anything anymore. It's all about 'instant gratification' - just use a credit card or BNPL if you want something you don't have the money for. I don't feel at all sorry for these people for spending themselves into Oblivion. Then, they feel sorry for themselves when they realize they have no choice but to consolidate their debts or worse, file bankruptcy. Stupid.
Shopaholics have a mental/emotional problem. Just like any other addiction they're trying to deal with some trauma or bad feeling. Hopefully she got some counseling.
Home Decor are so stupid. We should decorate with what is meaningful to us, personal items. I have my parents’ scrolls, plants, diplomas, and some photos.
It is hard to find a tear for someone that makes this amount of money. Just because you have a well-paying job doesn't make you smart. My husband and I make poverty wages and live well and find happiness in simple ways and we also have a good time in inexpensive ways.
Do you think that makes you a better person? It's extremely uncharitable of you to judge someone for making mistakes just because they make more than you. Not everyone has had the experience or the proper education in how to handle finances. I know many people who got their first credit card when they were teenagers and because they had no context and no education, they just went wild and ran up the card and then realized it isn't so easy to pay it back once interest starts to accrue. Save your judgement for your own flaws and when you're counting your blessings, don't detract from someone else's.
I hope they weren't allowed to sell the things they got rid of I feel like she could have easily gotten $1,000 for all that if she had put them in a thrift shop or had some sort of auction
I dont know how people can have so much money every month... Sorry for sounding harsh, but here in germany, you can live with 3000€ a month very comfortable. My fiance and I make 4800€ every month. We bought our house last december, we have a car and still buy new things for our home. After everything is paid we can save between 1000 and 1600€ every month. We were able to save 15.000€ in one year.
You know those busy days when you’ve got a long list of errands to run? Get the oil changed, send off the package for Grandma’s birthday, pay a fine at the library, pick up clarinet reeds for the middle schooler, buy a dress shirt for Hubby, get the groceries for the week… In my head I can hear Gail, “You went shopping on the 5th and the 5th and the 5th and the 5th and the 5th and the 5th…”
So true!!
I love this 😂😂
And in Gails voice "the 5th was a busy day!" Lol
I think for me it would be...the 5th, the 5th , the 5th and the 20th and the 20th
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love how this couple love one another and there's no attacking, blaming or being ugly. That's an uplifting couple and I wish them all the best!
Women always spend more than they should, pathetic really!
I get the feeling that they really took this to heart, I hope they are doing well
They did seem to take it seriously and also to be a very sweet, loving couple.

I just stumbled across this show 3 days ago and am wondering if there is an episode with a single parent.
Yes, there are several episodes

They don’t bring home 10K a month unless they have no benefits, no retirement, and live in a state with no income tax. No biggie but the math was off.
This is Canada.
well done the both of you!
I hope they weren't allowed to sell the things they got rid of I feel like she could have easily gotten $1,000 for all that if she had put them in a thrift shop or had some sort of auction
They're a really cute couple
I dont know how people can have so much money every month...
Sorry for sounding harsh, but here in germany, you can live with 3000€ a month very comfortable.
My fiance and I make 4800€ every month.
We bought our house last december, we have a car and still buy new things for our home.
After everything is paid we can save between 1000 and 1600€ every month.
We were able to save 15.000€ in one year.
Sell the stuff, pay the debt!!!

I can not FATHOM bringing home $10K a MONTH!!! I barely bring home $2K.

They still both complained
Such a cute couple :)
I hope they actually changed
They earn so much together, I don’t understand this
