With a serious health problem on the horizon, it’s now or never for this couple to cut the family factor from their weekly spending. .

      Sadly they are using food as a comfort zone. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was in that same boat. Someone should tell them to go for weight loss because it's doing a number on their health. Maybe they were outcasts growing up, so they are making up for what they didn't have as Kids. Nothing wrong with helping out Fam but you have to never go overboard. I live with my mother but since my father died I've really had to step up. I've helped her with Snow Shoveling Services, Lawn Care, and Lawn Mowing, House Tax, House Insurance, not to mention paying Room & Board and taking care of my own Bills. It's challenging but I hardly spend for anything unless it's needed.

    Our family get togethers usually consist of pot luck dinners at home. We play cards, board games, talk and laugh and have a blast. No need to go to fancy restaurants. Occasionally we all go out to eat to celebrate a birthday. Everyone except the birthday boy or girl splits the bill. Picnics at parks in the nice fall weather, watching the kids play, free concerts in the park, community activities and festivals. There is so much to do without spending a fortune.

Other than bringing over a food dish, we will go out and buy a bottle of wine (Even if its the cheap stuff.) If I spent 300 to 400.00 for a family dinner, my husband would throw a fit. I would only spend that on a special occasion (Birthdays and anniversaries) not every day!

    This woman seems like she's terrified of her mom and wants to please her so bad. Her mom seemed quiet not because she was sad for them, but because they actually were setting some boundaries and cutting her off. The husband's mom seemed to be way more understanding. Her brother also looked well capable to take care of himself, so why was the wife taking care of him and their mom? Hopefully they kept up with what they learned on the show, and didn't fall back into the old patterns.

      What we also don't know is how much they NET on those two $70k salaries. If they actually BROUGHT HOME $70k each, technically they could have lived on one spouse's paycheck and paid off their debt with the other's in just about a year's time. And yes, that empty basement is unrealized income ... even if they didn't want to have permanent renters, just renting it out for a year would have contributed a LOT against their debt. I DO applaud all these debtors for allowing themselves to be made vulnerable to the public - it shows they are serious about tackling the "elephant in the room" before it destroyed them.

    • @sharonfleshman6961

      I don't think they were supporting the family as much as spoiling them. I guess she was paying for her mom's alarm service but that pales in comparison to $100 meals and $60 spa treatments.
      However, yes, i would have encouraged them to rent out the basement so they can create a nest egg against a bad diagnosis.

    I love that show. That one hit home.
    3 years ago, I changed job twice in a row and ended up tripling my salary. With this new income, I thought I could finally treat my family, go to the restaurants and on holiday. We grew up poor and it was life-changing. I was using more and more my credit cards, since I had the money to pay it back. I ended up maxing them so fast.
    Now, everything is in a consolidation loan with my bank and the cards are cut. The debt will be paid in a year, and I can still put a decent chunk in my savings.
    It was very scary to realise I could mess up my life in a few months time. I won't be able to help my family, when they will really need it, if I have no money. Lesson learned !

If i could feed 2 adults comfortably on 100/mth when this was filmed thats like 130 cad at the time. 500/mth is still a TON. 2k is insane. Dont forget this show filmed 20yrs ago. Today im feeding 2 teens who eat like its a personal challenge and spend 800-900/mth us in groceries, but they eat 3lbs of ground beef when i make tacos, or 2 hamburger helpers between them. My youngest can eat a full meal then polish off a medium takeout pizza as a snack. When im without the kids for a month in summers i might spend 150-200 that month on myself, and thats if i get takeout frequently. 2k today is high unless you are feeding a football team or 6 teen boys with tapeworms. In 00? Thats like 3k or more

    Instead of tanning and spa of $800, both should hit the gym, and stop eating out. Period. Yes, they are overweight, this is clear, but the comment for the gym is for them to get their lives back. I cannot tell you how depression and being overweight or obese go hand in hand. They spend because its a quick “buzz” for happiness….they also would be able to stand up to their family if they felt better about themselves.

Fortunately I had insurance through work but still paid for my surgeries (my chemo was covered). I worked through the whole time. I didn't go into medical debt. The only debt which I paid off in 4 months is my air conditioner died in July in the middle of my treatments (July in Arizona is horrible).

      My 88-year-old mother has never in her whole life handled her money it was her parents then my dad then my sister and now I have been paying her bills for about 10 years we used to give her a certain amount of money to last her for the month for Bingo gas and groceries and she would have it gone in a week's time so now I just give her money each week for Bingo she quit driving 2 years ago and I go to the store up until when the pandemic hit my mom used to go to the store with me now she won't. Overtime we have saved quite a bit of money for her. Her roof is going to have to be replaced in the next couple years and she needs a new air conditioning unit they were able to get it going for this year but it won't make it another year if it makes it till the end of summer will be happy.

    If you are not able to use credit cards to your advantage you are not financially versed enough to use credit cards. This is a great show as we can all use a reality check if only to check on others in our lives and help them avoid this. There are some issues here that need therapy intervention even if they pay off the debt. invest in your health, get healthy according to a doctor/therapist. Anyone in a rent to own also needs to do the math. A relative of mine had a new RAC fridge that they paid to own for two years. They had to move, could not take fridge and I did the math and they had already paid 2x the price of the fridge new. Best wishes to his health, scary stuff.

      Yep. With cashback on my card I accrue more than the fee for the card. If you pay in full each month you pay zero interest and are left with extra cash at the end of the year. My bank even lets you buy financial products. I dump it in a retirement savings account which then gets me a tax credit. It's just a matter of using them for things you can already afford now.

    • @jtidema

      Exactly! I have paid interest on credit card debt exactly one time in my life. When we decided to buy a couch and a chair for our living room in our first house, we knew we could not pay it off at the end of the month. We let it ride until the second month and then paid it off. Other than that we have never in our lives allowed a penny to sit on a credit card. If we can’t pay it off that month, we don’t buy it.
