This is very similar to what my ex husband and I went through. We declared bankruptcy instead and I’m still ashamed to say this - and that was 1992…I had no clue at the time how to fix it. Wish I’d seen Gail back then!! Now, 30 years later, I am single, have saved over $150k, am still saving and living my best life - without my empty-pockets husband.
Yes, they will start asking you for loans and help and start whining about how they don't have anything. They will earn $22.00 Per Hour but they spend like they are earning $30.00 Per Hour, they live beyond their means.
She has another show call Princess that’s good. She takes spoiled women and teaches them to be self sufficient. If you haven’t watched that one yet, you should check that out. :)
Me too!!! Now I just watch reruns & I still cry of happiness 4 the couple that do good BUT some (like the girl w/the mailman husband who wants a mercedes) make me laugh!!! 😅
I will miss these all, as well. I’m confused, though. They seem to all be on You Tube, but they offer them as Season 1 & 2, for a price. I just keep watching the free ones. I’m also curious as to what year these aired.
Did you ever see Victor Antonio the US Financial Guru. He and his associate Stacey found out that part of the reason why Aaron Carter was in such bad debt was because money was being taken out without his knowledge. It was his jerk of a Manager Jayson who didn't think he'd get caught stealing from his client but they always get caught.
Me too! I watched this show years ago. Before i first moved out on my own I used Gail's pie chart to figure out what I could afford and to stay on track. Still use the pie chart to create my budget.✌️🇨🇦
My goodness, I hope these two get marriage counseling so they can learn to communicate without raising their voices, arguing, and him shutting her down.
Yes! At one point he tells her you never agree, that's why we kill each other. That's his logic, you don't agree with me that's why we disagree. Can't argue with that!
Helped a friend get out of debt. I just made suggestions and she never new she was paying so much interest on the loan company. 300 percent. In one year she paid off all the high interst loans. About 6 of them. And she paid cash fo a nice used car. I was amazed at how good she did. Very determand. Now i need to work on some of my debt. Lol
What a wonderful friend you are. God will bless and reward you. I would have loved to have helped my Cousin but he doesn't want to hear it. I warn him about the importance of Budgeting but he has no self control to which he admits. He doesn't understand that when you take money from a ABM not realizing that you get "charged". Then at the end of the Month there are Bank Service Charges, then Taxes then Budgeting for Transportation. He's been very close to being Homeless because he's always late with his Rent. He grew up privileged and now his Parents are Dead and they never taught him Lifeskill Lessons and at one point he wouldn't even go into Walmart but he loves it now. I also warn him about how you never shop for food when you are hungry because you will buy things that you don't want or need.
After about 16 years, I got rid of a friend who was stressing me out because she never listened to me in regard to her finances. I’m not struggling; she always was but would rather listen to the low life types of friends that she had who were going no where in their lives…I finally got fed up with all of her drama and stopped answering her calls.
Good for you! I'm sure she misses you but as the saying goes "God helps those who help themselves". You can do so much for a family member or friend but if they don't try to help themselves, it's pointless with what you try to tell them.
She has opened my eyes to my expenses. I was in debt to payday advances for years. Getting out of that hole was difficult but doable. Tight budget is the key.
I have had to turn to a payday loan for a car repair but the repairs didn’t fix the car. Now I am trapped and forced to drive a car with a flashing CEL.
@@SignedOff402 Have you considered not having a car? We scrapped ours because we were not willing to go into debt for repairs on an old car and gas is getting outrageous. Cars are convenient but so expensive. You might get enough to pay off all the debt by selling it and not have insurance or gas to worry about either. Transit, Uber and grocery delivery has made it very easy not to have a car and we still spend less than we did having a car in the driveway.
I really like this couple. They are good people with good hearts. They were lost and didn't know how to find their way, but they learn fast and are excellent students. Best wishes!
Absolutely love this show. She is so great. I was never been a big spender but these cash jars are great. We started to use and saving 65% of our salary.
So interesting to see how paying and filing bills has changed with online account access and paperless statements. No need anymore to file loads of paper. Would love to see Gail’s idea for an electronic filing system.
Gail: if you want them you're going to have to clean behind the fridge. Husband: **looks at wife** that's your job. 😡😱 WTF I don't know how some women put up with men like that. 🤢
Yeah only guys should be solely responsible for certain tasks, like mowing the lawn or changing oil, or any job she doesn't want to do ever. All the remaining work should be split up between them depending on what she feels like at the time! What a jerk that husband is!
Cash advance companies charge 500%. Told to me by a former employee of a Colorado Springs, Colorado cash advance business. He lasted 3 months and quit when the wife of a deployed military serviceman melted down on the floor in the waiting room. The stress was too much for him too. He couldn’t bear to see people ripped off.
another reason why the US is a cesspool. In Aus, it's maybe 20% as an absolute max because they investigated dodgy companies taking advantage of people.
This man child reminds me of the 16 year old kids I have to manage at work. I want to scream at them because they are doing everything wrong, but i have to tell myself that common sense is not so common. And some tasks takes time to learn.
Also what they did Writing A Letter to Family & Friends in terms of the Loans was very noble and humbling. The fact that they acknowledged that they "owe" Money and are trying to make amends for what they did. I don't know anyone who would do that. "Enabling" is a very strong word. You think you are helping them but in reality you are making it easy for them to be irresponsible. I know this only too well.
Financial classes should be provided in schools. Also it is devastating today lose a house. In general not everyone can afford a house. Sometimes you have to live in an apartment and that is okay.
Renting is something you should do as.little as possible. It's throwing money away; you pay and pay and pay and have nothing to show for it. Ideally you need to be solvent and own a house before you have a child. Kids should not grow up in scuzzy apartments. But in any event, work three jobs if you have to to save a down payment and get out of the rent trap. Or, if you're young, healthy and childless....speed up the process by living in your vehicle for a couple of years to save up and buy a house. It's worth it.
Happy you have these wonderful memories. It will give you strength and courage to move on with your life. Take the time to grieve your loss and cry because of what has been.
Yes, since Covid alot of folks ended up worse off. They couldn't go outside they got bored, bought all kinds of stuff they couldn't afford and now it's coming back to haunt them.

Now this couple took everything she said like adults and didn't whine and argue with her!! Good job guys!! There should be budget and finance classes taught in school! So many people handle money like their parents did or else they just go willy nilly! Both can be bad!!
I wish we only had to go through the bills once a year to see what has gone up. We're having to adjust at least every quarter now with the way prices are rising!

I think the first one she ever took out was for an actual emergency, but she didn't like not having money to blow after paying it back so she just took out another one and it settled into a bimonthly routine.

It's crazy how much costs have gone up since this show aired. I pay 450 a month for my car which I own, $200 for insurance and the remaining $250 on gas.
Wow! That insurance is crazy expensive! We have comprehensive insurance on 2 vehicles (a truck and an SUV) and we pay ours 6 months at a time, for $464. That's $77.33 a month for 2 vehicles.

Robert Perry I do it all on paper just likeGail advises. My parents taught me that. It's just as fast as firing up the computer. It's what works for you.
I track my expenses on paper even now (have a budget book to track my variable expenses). Makes it a bit easier to see where the money is going at a glance. For me personally easier to grab than starting up the laptop or computer. In saying that I hate all things computers, so could understand someone loving tech who would prefer that. I know I wouldn't track it the way I do now if it was on the computer, as I try and stay off that as much as possible. Also I have blown up a few phones and lost data so don't trust that either. I think as long as you track it is the main thing :)

Terrible husband
Husband has his priorities straight on what's important but is too into the blame game
That's an excellent point! Sam from Sam & Stephanie never took accountability. He was awful as was Simone from Simone & Frank.
I would never hire those two for a job, they'd bicker, the job wouldn't get done right and I would fire them before they started. 😊
Wow that’s the most money I have seen her allow anybody in the shows I have watched to date!
Especially for food
It's for a month.
That’s her job to clean behind the refrigerator… really ???
This isn’t the 50’s
I've spent thr whole day watching these. What a waste
❤❤❤
I love Gail!
No one is going to comment on how much the wife looks like his mom? 👀
Why does everyone in Canada live in townhomes…? Isn’t there a huge amount of land? And why are houses so stinking expensive?
Do people still write checks.
Yes. My mom 👩 does. She doesn't trust online banking. In the mail she gets a monthly statement from the bank. She goes down the list and sees checks were cashed or does telephone ☎️ banking
@@laminage She should go to online banking.Will not have to pay for checks.Buying stamps to mail inside envelope will kill me standing in line to buy $12 book of stamps. 😟😩
The best shows were nearl 45 minutes . You just can’t do it in 20 minutes.
I'm a time travelling ghost from 2025.....a loaf of bread and a lettuce costs $40.......JUST SPEND YOUR MONEY NOW ON ENJOYABLE THINGS BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD FOOD OR ELECTRICITY IN MY TIME!!!! WOOOOOOOO (spooky noises)
Her fault hes working ALL the Time
I understand the tracking expenses and spending, but doin git on paper with binders and folders? how about a spreadsheet?
Robert Perry I do it all on paper just likeGail advises. My parents taught me that. It's just as fast as firing up the computer. It's what works for you.
Paper doesn't crash like computers can.
@@wolfhound1452 No, but it does burn.
I cannot imagine trying to show the husband how to manage a spreadsheet. 😄😁😆
I track my expenses on paper even now (have a budget book to track my variable expenses). Makes it a bit easier to see where the money is going at a glance. For me personally easier to grab than starting up the laptop or computer. In saying that I hate all things computers, so could understand someone loving tech who would prefer that. I know I wouldn't track it the way I do now if it was on the computer, as I try and stay off that as much as possible. Also I have blown up a few phones and lost data so don't trust that either. I think as long as you track it is the main thing :)
Husband is a jerk
He gives me "alcohol overindulgence" vibes.
@@jenem9618What About Sam who was married to his Wife Stephanie. Very narcistic, a bully, my way or no way. He treats his wife Stephanie like crap. I don't even think they are together. Also Simone and Frank also.
Getting Folks together to acknowledge that they owe, is similar to Step #5 in AA when you have to apologize to everyone you hurt with your drinking.
Laminage, Sheila and Frank. The tragedy is all those couples had young children to help grow up well.
Too much on booze
"This is my room"... so many of these couples need a divorce
I don't like this couple.
You think you're better than everybody Jane.
Jane Baker Yeah Jane what the heck!
Annie Spencer you tell her Annie baby
Hahaha ☺️
@@janebaker4912 hahahaha love it
He's an A-hole and she needs to divorce him. She can do better.
I'll never understand how people can be so financially naive. I guess it's the credit generation. Never had credit cards when I was young....thankfully.😊
15:10 She always says "schedule" really weird.....lol
She's British!
@@susanclaire901 Gail is actually Jamaican Canadian, not British.
Only americans say 'skedule' not 'shedule'
You mean the correct way? Let me guess, you also say zeebra instead of the correct way. Zebra.
Ha ha, most of the world says it the same way. I am American but know our pronunciation is unusual. Recognize that!
I can’t stand this guy.
