    Default Dr Phil has some big spenders on...

    I'm not a daytime television person... but just was sitting there clicking about and Dr. Phil is on, at the moment he is reaming out a couple who are irresponsible spenders. Pretty interesting.... if anyone is near a t.v. at the moment...

    I seen it the first time and watched the tail end of it again today. It just blows my mind on how much they had spent and on what they had spent it on.

    I watched the show too! I hope they can turn things around. They're in a pretty scary situation. I couldn't believe the wife said that she wouldn't sell some of her things even though she's NEVER worn them!

    I watched it--I don't think the couple will get out of debt because the wife (especially) seemed incredibly immature. She didn't seem serious enough about it all.

    Which is exactly why I love the woman I have been married to for over 30 years.

    Through the good times and bad times she has always adapted, always done what was best for the time without a single complaint.

    I totally agree. I caught some of the show where
    they were showing the designer handbags, some
    still had tags. She seemed insulted that they
    wanted her to sell the stuff to help get things on
    track. She really needs a wake up call.

    Dr. Phil said they had a total of $122k+ when
    the lady finished totaling everything in the house. SMH
