- Show cars are at the centre of Gail and Tony’s social lives. They spend thousands of dollars customizing a beloved jeep and touring it around the province for a shot at…a trophy. But their passion for cars could be driving them into a retirement of poverty. Can these two turn the situation around?
Love the two Gails. Tony seems like an albatross, what is she doing with him. He is using her like a sugar mama. She’s funny and clever and if she can get away from the cars she will do great.
BINGE WATCHING GAIL IN 2024
After watching so many episodes back to back it’s crazy how I can see right away a true loving couple🙈 this one is definitely a true love story🥰
I would love to see what these jars would have in today’s dollars.
even at the time these amounts were laughably low.
I remember watching it in 2010 and thinking about how I was spending $20/day on food at least even then
@@PalisUK Well the point of the show is to get to the bare minimum and focus on paying off debt, so it being a bit extreme makes sense imo
I've made so many mistakes especially after I got married. These shows have put me back on track.
Addictions and hobbies cost lots of money... Choose wisely!
"I gotta help her out one of these days." And he did! What a nice couple.
He does love her dearly and now that Gail has turned things around, I bet they love each other more.
This is my nightmare. I was debt free and made sure my future husband was too or no deal.
Well they don't need to be debt free, they need to be smart, able to pay their debts, etc. You need to have some kind of revolving credit so asking for someone to be 100% debt free with absolutely no revolving credit or assets means their credit score is probably not great and they spend all of their cash on necessities instead of having some to put into savings/IRAs etc.
@@squizzerl1478 ah yes. In Australia you don't need debt to get a credit score.
You just need to pay your bills on time
Yeah, I had one guy wanting to marry me with bailiffs constantly at his door. It was a hard no and goodbye
@@squizzerl1478 Why do you need credit? How about saving for what you need? In Ireland having debt is not seen as a good thing.Not how credit score is calculated.
@@MegaOneZer1 You dodged a bullet there. Smart move.
That cat shot was cute and really funny. I hope they're doing well now.
I'm glad that hubby & I chose to save something back. He took the company up on their 401k offer & its a blessing now in our retirement. We did get to retire early (lived on his pension only for 3 years), but had the means to make our retirement plans complete. We had our motorhome & sold out of California - then traveled for 12 years till we felt that it was time to stop & resettle in a new state. The 401k was there to purchase in CASH our final home!
Lease??? He LEASED the truck???? Good God. These nice sweet folks have a sign on their backs that says "suckers!"
Leasing used to be a tax right off in Australia.
@@aussiemouth747 Not in Canada where the show takes place
The Gail in this episode is such a buttercup I think she's so sweet
The Intro sounds like she keeps him afloat, but he doesn’t respect her enough to make better decisions. The timeshare is the MOST RIDICULOUS thing ever....they used a credit card for it....OMG
Fun fact,
When you purchase a time share, you are usually using a credit card given to you by the time share company for the down payment on the timeshare, then you have a mortgage on the timeshare that currently runs as a 10 year loan with a 24% interest rate. Like buying a house on a credit card. Add onto it the $1500 a year they charge you for maintenance fees and such for the timeshare.
I have never understood why people still buy timeshares when they are so well known for being terrible. Nowadays, all the big hotel companies sell access to some of their high end properties as timeshares. They use the exact same method and tell the retired couple getting it that they can have their kids inherit it when they pass, which would normally bankrupt their kids too.
I really like this couple & can see how much they love each other. I hope they never allow finances to split them apart. Let's all stop this money spending beyond our means. It's time to focus on love & respect for our spouses, our kids and God. Let's be grateful for what we do have instead of always wanting more.
Starting the cash jars (no debt and do not want it) for variable expenses. I wish I could get those cool labels.
@Suzie Langley You can make your own. Do an internet search for free printable money jar or savings jar labels. There are lots of sites with free printable labels. You just need to buy blank labels and print them yourself. If you don't have a printer, hand label and draw your own. Think like Gail --- how can you do this using free resources.
Like others have said, he was using her.
"Have you ever tasted your cat food!". Epic!
That is heavy. I saw 👀 a PSA where a woman had to eat Cat Food 🐈 😻 for Dinner
Also remember when on The Sopranos Herman aka Hesh wanted Tony to pay his "Loan". Tony gave him money 💰 saying I don't want you eating Cat Food.
Getting out of a time share is next to impossible. Don’t fall into the trap of one to begin with.
I like this couple. I could definitely hangout with them and have a beer or two.
For the life of me I don’t understand how someone can spend 3k more than you make every month and not know it
It's possible because of credit card (loans). So, beware lest you fall. When you use only cash, it's not possible because the cash runs out!! If you track the credit card spending then you'll know, however most people don't hence they don't know.
Used golf clubs= $200 9hole course on an off day $20 total for year = $500 total the first year and 40miles walking miles out in the sunshine - totally worth it. (golfing does NOT have to be expensive)
She hates to say "no" to him. He makes less tnan half of her salary, she pays the bills and loses sleep stressing over their spending, while he sleeps like a baby. This relationship sounds completely off-balance to me. As I continued watching, it appears as if their relationship is indeed balanced. They care about one another and are committed to paying off their debt.
I don’t like the argument that the individual who brings in the most money has a bigger say over the way it is spent. We have been together for 40 years and earning power means nothing when we make major decisions. There were times I’ve made more, and times he did, but all decisions are agreed to by us both. From the moment we married it became our money, and that has never changed. I don’t want to be in a marriage where we have separate anything. Except for sox/underwear drawers, because that just makes sense.
these guys are big kids their living a fast and furious lifestyle lol, hopefully they get their act together
Well done you guys 👍💪 You both worked really well as a team. The whole series is such an eye opener about financial management and personal budgeting. With so many going into huge debt to support their lifestyles, it makes me think about the adequacy of financial literacy in the school system. We are simply not taught from an early age about the power of money or even how to manage love and relationships - all key life skills. 🙏
Well said! 👍
I’d love to know where these two are now
If Gail is to be believed, he’s dead and she’s sick and broke.
@@drewconway7135 source?
@@MSRendrag See 13:10 through about 13:20
@@drewconway7135 Her speculation. I thought you meant if actually happened.
I wish she was in my life ten years ago. I would have saved a cool million I spent on friends and family [majority] and my SLK sports cars.
Thank you for posting!!!
I love when people are like no that’s not possible it’s like ummmmm clearly it is possible ur broke!!!
Why does anybody need a weekly allowance for clothing?
Well I set aside a sum every week for clothing, but only buy when I need somthing. Even tho I can, I seldom buy just because I want it. Usually wait for the sales.
so we don't look like scrubs

Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Album: American Idiot
Artist: Green Day
They’ve got some good taste in music.
I like that Gail leaves them with something immediate as well as a budget and 5k for debt. Feels like it's more likely the 5k actually goes to debt that way.
Timeshares! How do people still get suckered into those, after all that's been publicized about them?
This episode is 15-20 years old
This episode makes me think of those poor people who I hear radio commercials for- attorneys helping people get out of their time shares...what a nightmare!!
These two seem like such a loving, genuine couple. Hope they're doing well, it seems like he really gained respect for her and their relationship throughout this episode!
He makes what I made back in high school working a part time job
Congratulations guys!!! You both did Fantastic!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
. . . yeah, but their cat is adorable!
My income is social security only. I have as a single person $100 after my expenses a week to live on and this is 2022 I have no problem doing this. My mortgage is paid for all my bills are paid monthly I have no credit card debt I do have a small car payment of $187 but I pay $200( I put 12 thousand down with small trade in did not want to dip into my savings more then that or take from 401k or Roth IRA) I also put in $200 a month into savings before I pay any bills I have a 401k and a Roth IRA but I do not take any out of that to live on
Debbie, you’re my hero! Can you contact me please? My email is on my channel ABOUT section. I’d love you to be my mentor. I’m 40.
He sounds like Dan from Roseanne lol
Wow the car is as valuable as a child
Clearly I wouldn't leave Gail earning twice as much money as I'd earn.
He knows he's lucky to have a wife earning more money... But you should enjoy, not exaggerate 🙄
Pushing 50????? I would have said 60 ha ha ha
Sixty, sixty, sixty, do I hear sixty-five, sixty-five . . . ?
Are you posting anymore??? Hope so!
The Lady looks like she may have been in an environment where there wasn't much money or may have been a "Geek". They were such nice folks. As for the eating, I remember seeing a PSA about a Woman who had Cat Food & Crackers for Dinner, she hardly had any money. I think it was about financial planning.
I always heard that it’s next to impossible to get out of a timeshare. Does anyone know if that’s true?
It's true. Dave Ramsey has mutiple rants about them.
@@genevadelp5055 Thx for the info. I’ll steer clear of those seminars.
They sign mortgages with insanely high rates. Defaulting shows up as mortgage lates. Awful.
it's so true that there are even scams to abuse people who cannot get out of their timeshare. Even people giving them away for free don't manage to do it.
Got suckered into the timeshare scam..... 😂
my fave couple in this reality tv
They’re good people, and they’ll be ok!
He used her for money and toys.
Classic story, he marries a good hearted, homely, overweight, middle aged woman, who makes over double what he does a year, is buying her own home, and gets her to take on debt (bet that he came into the marriage with nothing). He doesn't want to lose her, because his standard of living on 27k a year wouldn't allow him to have any of the things he can have with her income, along with a nice place to live.
I have two different friends (one had been divorced for years and the other was a widow) that this happened to in middle age, and when both of them pulled in the rein's and started paying off all the debt these guys talked them into, both of the men left them. Unless this guy had enough brains to realize that losing her would cost him a comfy lifestyle and retirement (think how low his retirement alone would be based on 27k a year), my guess would be that they are no longer together, if she followed through and stopped the crazy spending.
goldiggers are men and women, it happens both ways
Overweight homely woman? What about loser, Overweight man with a couple rotten teeth in his head
$27,000.00 is less than 1/2 of his wife's income.
Yet apparently he spends a majority of the money.
He should get off his deadbeat ass and find a better job.
He needs her brain. She needs his braun.🤔😆🦘
Lol I have no idea of my gross monthly. I do know where every penny of my net goes though. Oh and that’s a horrible “show car”
Gale got real dark with all that talk of starving, sick widows 😲
I could easily live on $125 after fixed costs are paid. How is that a hardship?
Because people have to waste it on junk.
Lol i do too😅 & In 2022!🙈
I make $125,000 salary plus bonuses and I can’t even imagine spending $125 a week every week! I cook at home and there’s a running list of free fun things I can do (healthy, too!)
If she is up all night stressing over finances then she is more likely to die from stress related heart disease etc and he would be left with nothing since she makes twice as much as he does..ofcourse he wouldn't want her to leave but if she is dead she can't make an income either.
Health should come before money and the less stress the better.
I cant believe these numbers and its so long ago
Id.love to know how to get out of a time share!
At the risk of looking like an idiot, what is a time share?
@@cpmffeilberg4970 like a hotelroom you pay for all year round for the priviledge to use it for 3 weeks a year, but you have to choose when in advance. When you don't use it you pay anyway
@@cpmffeilberg4970 Time-share is a system that is sold under a lot of pressure (think being locked in a room with a pushy salesman for four hours) in which people pay a LOT of money to partake into a system of points or shares of ownership for places to stay during a vacation. The hotels or condos are of bad quality generally and there are a lot of fees that keep increasing every year... A poor decision and the contracts are made to lock people in long term !
@@mariek.474 yes, timeshares generally sell for a substantial loss, like up to 70%.
Generally they are sold at a significant loss, like us to 70% from the original purchase price.
Kudos for the elegant white walls in their home!!
How do you have debt damn near what you bring in a year?!?!?! Grown ass people. This is unacceptable. She should've left a long time ago
Ugh I know a handful of guys who are addicted to buying cars. I’m glad my guys not like that. We stick with our same cars and just invest in regular maintenance
Initial impression was that he was using her however, now seeing this, I feel like he does love her because he was willing to give up his own things
They should keep the Jeep and ditch the timeshare and truck.
That was precisely what they were doing. You didn't watch the whole episode, obviously.
so is it that easy to get out of time share?
Just call them and "cry poor"
He makes 27k that's it? That's 12.98. get a better job dude!
Your wife makes good money.
Step up.
Well, "dude," the episode was from 2007, so those were normal wages for his job back then.
Tony boloni..😅🤣😂
He makes 20k. Are you serious. I would have never hooked up with him. So stupid. He just spends. She never says no to him.
He made $27,000/year. HUGE difference between 20k and 27k, and it was in 2007, so his wages were on par for the time and the job.
He needs to up his income
The episode was from the 2007 season. His wages were on par for back then, as were hers as an IT tech and consultant.
That Jeep Liberty is just ridiculous. Who in their right mind go into debt for THAT? 😂
And take it to car shows none the less
It's a shame he makes so little compared to her.
Really sad. But there definitely are people who can only handle a small amount of stress. Simply want very easy & low stress jobs.
"I don't want to be a bag lady"
why is that hilarious?
If I bought a car I should not have bought while in debt, I wouldn't be happy about it.
Debt is great if you use it to purchase assets instead of toys like they did lol
Get rid of him.
lol when she joked about it at the end I was like yes girl you get it .but I guess she’d rather pay for his love than be alone
what year was this release?
1980
@Larry The Canadian...Series ran for 9 seasons 2005 to 2011.
2006
We dont have credit cards and we are not interested . I like to purchase with cash and we live frugally.
I thought there wasn’t a market for used timeshares?
Do you have any episodes of Gails other show Princess?
@ryderpatch The Princess episodes are now on RUclips. Do a search for RUclips Princess Gail Vaz-Oxlade and they will come up. Be sure to add Gail's name to the search, otherwise you will get the Disney princess shows.
Update: he died and she learned to love the taste of Alpo
Why do USA rely on car payments that's money down the drain due to a car being a depreciating asset.
It's Not USA
Canadian
Buggit bine-duh
ive watched a lot of these episodes and I have a question
Are there any attractive women in Canada that aren't fat?
I’m Canadian born!! Us skinny woman don’t over spend/over eat wouldn’t be on this show hun.... think about it
Yes, but none of them would have anything to do with you.
@@kylepederson9420 thank goodness
I don't ever go "hogging"
Go to Quebec where the women are French and thin.
@@suzieq390 There is a correlation between over spenders and over eaters. My mother is a prime example. Always over weight and spending. A lot of times people over spend bc they feel crappy about themselves due to being over weight and unable to control themselves so they over spend to make themselves feel better.
