Have you ever scene the show, "'Til Debt do us part?"

Yes Shell. I've watched all the shows. They're great! They are the inspiration for my Money Makeover thread on Goals and Dreams board. DH even watched a few with me. It's helped us a lot just to realize how immature our attitudes towards money were.

Yep, it depresses me all the time, lol. No, really it is inspiring and I admire people that can bear all and go on the show. I almost applied to go on the show, but my husband said "no way, I don't want my friends and family to see how bad we are with money!" and besides he knows that the first thing Gail would say is to sell the skidoo (which I agree with and have been saying forever) and he absolutely REFUSES to do so.

I only looked for a bit, but it seems really interesting. Have to fully check it out when I can focus a bit more...

I love the show. I didn't know about his website though....thanks! I always wondered how she figured out what went in the jars!

watchingpennies: She figures out a monthly budget, multiples by 12 (months) and divides by 52 (weeks) and that's what you get in your jars each week.

But as for figuring out the actual budgets - man, she's wicked! Sometimes I think she's overly generous, but the time she made the family go without food money for a week was a real eye-popper. She introduced them to the food bank and working for food. An object lesson was learned no doubt.
