    Default Big Spenders TV show

    I don't know if anyone has seen this show, but it was pretty cool.

    This couple spent double what they bring in. They actually took the $$ for their mortgage payment and went on vacation.

    This show basically told it like it should be.

    Default BIG Spenders

    I watched that show and wondered if someone was going to post about it here. That family stressed me out. I didn't think they were going to be able to do the budget challenge.
    I can't wait for more of this show.
    I didn't learn anything about budgeting but it did make me feel better that I already do everything he told them to do.

    What network is showing this? It sounds really interesting. I tried to pull it up on the internet but nothing comes up. Is the name of the show Big Spenders? If you see it coming back on could you keep us informed of when and what channel? Thanks

    It was on A & E yesterday (Sunday) at 4:30c.
    It is called Big Spender and will be on again next Sunday at 4:30central.

    I checked their website and here is the link to the schedule of when it will be on:
    oops, I can't post a link yet. I googled A and E, found their site and found the show Big Spender and that gives the schedule and a paragraph of what the next show will be about.


    There is a budget expert who makes the family that is in debt sign a contract and then he checks back in with them.

    I hope that helps!

    It is on A&E on Sunday afternoons. He doesn't tell you much about how to get some things, but he basically says that you can't live over your budget and that you need to cut things out.
