Did you ever see The "Original" Dynasty Show where Sammy Jo said to Steven #2 (then played by Jack Coleman) "My Gay Ex Husband Saying It Straight!" That was the pre tea and shade in many ways.
This was a nice couple. I wish Gail had offered the other $1,000 contingent on them moving out within 6 months. They really tried and its a lot to do in just 30 days. Their attitudes were so positive the whole time.
I think she was too hard on them. I get her point but to expect them to move out in a week was unrealistic. I've seen other couples doing far less and getting 5000.
I have a suspicion that while a few couples can continue the massive changes in their spending, many probably fall back to their previous patterns, sadly.
@baconatorrodriguez4651 Yes, if these couples are that clueless to begin with I'm sure many go right back to how they were. This show first aired in 2005 here in Canada. It would be interesting to see how some of the families are doing. I'm sure many are divorced.
I am obsessed with this show. We have a 10 dollar second hand television 📺 and you know what. It works just fine. You really can be okay with out all the new fancy electronics
Well…new TVs are really cheap now. And I like to send over to my tv, UA-cam videos I find on my phone. Can’t do that with an old tv. 🤷🏼♀️ But I have old but working appliances elsewhere in my house. I think I paid around $200 for our 42 inch tv on Black Friday about 4 years ago. 👍🏻
@@cjhoward409 nice !! Yes Our old television is approximately 8 years old ( for us ) when this one goes past working we will be buying a cheaper mower up to date television
My first tv was sitting next to my apartment dumpster and a friend who said oftentimes they only need a new small, cheap part replacements. Spent the muscle work and $1.50 on parts... plus welcome expense of a wine, cheese and chess night out with my repairman friend.
@@cjhoward409 TV's were always an "issue" with alot of Couples. I bought My TV when I had the "Money" to do so. I live with My Mother and My Father died a decade ago. When she wanted a "New" TV, My Sisters and I joined forces and bought her one. I paid for it and they reimbursed me. She was happy but now I buy what I "Need" not what I Want.
9/22/22...I hope these 2 guys managed to follow Gail's plan + pay off their debt + leave "the dungeon" + move out---use what Gail "taught them"--- + are still together + DOING GREAT! NICE VIDEO!
Too bad they didn't take the apartment. Not only might they have gotten more money but it would have helped with their relationship and increased their independence. Jay said Evan was more of a homebody. Hope it doesn't prove to be real problem.
Video games don’t need to be an expensive hobby. That $30/week would buy you a AAA game every other week or two indie games a week. Either way, that’s plenty of hours.
I think this show is from the 90's so about 30 years ago. I'm not sure but maybe video games cost more back then? (EDIT: I just Googled it, show was in 2005 so not quite 30 years ago)
These guys could’ve uploaded their videos on youtube back then and documented their debt free journey. Jk. Honestly, their situation is far better than the other couples featured on this show. Gail is right, just need to work their ass off and stop living virtually.
I would have done the same. Gail was wrong on that one and for the first time ever! The move could wait 6 months. What a feeling to pay off all of your debts and then find a roof 👍 And deal with a new life and budget 👌
She has to do that with about half the couples I've seen so far, I remember being young and stupid with money but I didn't know so many other people were young and stupid!
I couldn’t wait to get out of the house. (And fyi, I have a loving family.) I just wanted to be on my own. Some friends moved back home to save for weddings/down-payments/etc. but my autonomy was more important to me than the financial gains. I like being an adult and calling my own shots.
I have 5 cats and spend $10 a month for 50lbs cat litter, and $21 for 30 lbs of cat food. So $31 a month for cats. What the hell did they buy there cats
I wish my cats food would cost $31 mth. Our cats all have special digestion& allergy needs so unfortunately, Our food bill for them is more like $60+. We cut back in every area so we can afford to feed them& not have to rehome them.
Maybe they have health problems? I had to take my cat to the emergency vet last month and they charged me $800 and didn't even figure out what was wrong with her.
The litter and food for my 2 cats is $100 a month, and I buy them fairly nice food. For $350 a month, I wonder if they had a big vet bill or something, because otherwise I can't explain it.
I just spent $800 for a well ness exam, vaccine updates, and flea prevention (and he still needs a dental cleaning). Medical bills can go up pretty fast, but my old guy is worth it :).
By today's standards $17,000.00 is a Entry Level Salary. Also because one earns "more" than the other the person who makes the most may have "covered" for the other person and that's bad.
he was making just over minimum wage (minimum wage at $7.45/hr would be 15000/year assuming a 250 day work year. Assuming the same number of hours, he was making $8.50). i'm not going to shame anyone's work, but given he is mid 30s this is probably not where you want to be, especially if you're in debt. pathetic is a bit harsh to say though
They made some really stupid decision 😅 … looking at the technology 15 years later it’s so hilariously outdated and they wasted so much money on that crap. Same goes for today‘s Alexa or iPads or what have you. One computer and one smartphone is max you need.
The one guy who was making $17000 a month should have been working several min wage jobs if necessary. 17,000 isn't even full time minimum wage full time salary. they are sweet couple but being males one would think at least one would e making a lot more - granted this was maybe close to 15 years ago - still. AT least though they became homebodies they still were slim. I am not in debt but I should be saving more. My mom thinks I should have a million in cash, my home paid for and a car paid for when I retire plus a pension plan. I realized if I lived very frugally I might be able to save like over $4000 a month.
I don’t agree with Gail on the last challenge. They are smart to stay with their parents and be debt free in 6 months instead of the 2 year pland Gail suggested.
THEY SHOULD OF ONLY BEEN GIVEN $1,000. THEY DID NOT COMPLETE THE CHALLENGED. This couple will fail. They have no intentions of moving. My guess is they will buy a BIGGER TV AND GAMING SYSTEM.
I love you for this comment and not...other comments in the thread. I love these two, they're just so positive! I will die to protect these guys and their cats!
Dear God, if I were the Parents, I would say before you move in talk about Rent and the like. I remembered watching Queer As Folk and although Emmett Honeycutt was a "Social Butterfly" he managed to always pay his Rent and the like. Also not to sound stereotypical but Gay Guys live to party, if there are Seven Days per week, they would go out Four Days and do it all, The Gym, The Cafes, Restaurants, Clubhopping. If they had to choose between paying Bills or buying Food or the latest outfit, they would chose the "Outfit" or Food to eat and to keep up a image. His UK Counterpart Alexander quit is Job as a Waiter because he had to work on Saturday and he had to be where the Action was. After Nathan (Justin's UK Counterpart) moved back home with his Parents, Alexander asked if he could be a Boarder and take over Vincent's (Michael's UK Counterpart) Room.
@@bovnycccoperalover3579 I know gay guys and they live to party. Also Queer Eye For The Straight Guy has helped so many folks with their versions all over the world. When they talk about going out to eat, they could stay home and cook. Gay guys can take the simplest things and make them delicious. They don't open because it's too realistic and it's too depressing.
She doesn't like what pets can do to a budget. I've read that a dog costs $5-10k/yr in the US between pet deposits, food, vet, etc. If you have no savings and adopt a pet, you may be sabotaging yourself.
A cat can be just as expensive. Even when they were young, my cats had heart problems and needed an ultrasound every year. I lost one in June and it was difficult. Animals are family, sometimes better.
I'm pretty sure Jesus said something about not judging others because they sin differently than you. Tend your own house before tearing down someone else's dear.

They seem like one of the few couples that actually listened to the instructions and followed the plan. Good for them!

I wish this show did follow up show's the see how each couple were doing in 2 yrs
I liked this couple too. But what infuriates me is that the TV descriptor that accompanies their episode ALWAYS mis-identifies them as brothers.
Mine didn't.
Well it says "their parents", which is a little misleading. I agree, it's not super clear but it does at least say they're married on the show!

Oblivious to getting their acts together and working real jobs. Evan needs therapy to overcome his reluctance to venture outside his room with videos.
the price they paid then, for thing, that now, we pretty much find tacky as hell ( all silver??) and so obsolete for most part, give us a good lesson
Omg! 241 Pizza 😮 That takes me waaaaay back. There’s none in my area anymore.
I would have done the same.
Gail was wrong on that one and for the first time ever!

" No. Not if we have to pay hydro."
I'm guessing hydro is Canadian for what US calls water/sewer. And, "banking plan"? Odd.
Hydro is electricity and in some cases heat
I think he's talking about an account with extra fees. Remember, back then banks charged fees and there were few free alternatives.
@Jen. Thank you for this explanation. A lot of us Americans didn’t know this.
@@jenniferwang3489 many banks still charge fees for use.

One can live without television
Yes, because today we stream!!!

By today's standards $17,000.00 is a Entry Level Salary. Also because one earns "more" than the other the person who makes the most may have "covered" for the other person and that's bad.
Entry level today is at least $35-40k. In many cases it’s actually closer to be $50k+

It was that also in 2005. How did he go from 30K to 17K?
Ontario’s minimum wage as of 2024 is $16.55/hr. Going to $17.20/hr on October 1st.
Hamilton mountain :)
11:16 His pupils are too large. He's on something
Whoa, you're right! They're like saucers.
Maybe he has too much thyroid (Grave’s disease) - it can cause bulging eyes.
9/22/22...Prob medical/hormonal or thyroid issue....
@@davisholman8149 That would be sad. But it wasn't all the time. Good to know there's another reason besides drug use
I think it's an eye contact issue. His anxiety is making it worse.
Were the cats introduced?
They always introduce the dogs but not the cats. I see it too! At least they don't call the cats freeloaders with the "Charley $0 income per month" 😅
I wonder if maybe it's just that cats can be a bit skittish around big noisy film crews.
They made some really stupid decision 😅 … looking at the technology 15 years later it’s so hilariously outdated and they wasted so much money on that crap. Same goes for today‘s Alexa or iPads or what have you. One computer and one smartphone is max you need.
I have an Amazon Fire Tablet but I refuse to use Alexa!
Even more hilarious that TVs are so much bigger, nicer, and can do more for like a third of the price! TV's getting cheaper is hilarious.

Probably 2008 or 2009. Show started in 2005 and this is the fourth season.
$17K at his age? Really?
in the early 2000s, if you were working minimum wage 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year that’s only a little under $11,000 a year
