"She's the kind of person who cannot have a zero balance in her account. It freaks her out." - Why would anyone be okay with a zero balance?!

There’s a lot to be said about premarital counseling that includes finances, family, goals, religion, children, and so on. It’s often the unspoken expectations in these areas that can cause deep divides in a marriage.

Do you even blame her for having money set aside?!😭

Buy second hand and get both a tv and a dining room set.

I really liked this couple. They were obviously in love and they happily supported each other.

Sure, having a Baby is expensive but the trick is to buy second hand. Stroller , jumpers and most babies/ toddlers don't need way to many toys. Buy them a Great interactive gift + your attention. Also join groups in your area. You may be surprised at how many Mother support groups they are. They usually exchange , trade base groups. Formula for diapers.

This reminds me of my ex. He would take out payday loans to buy toys and tools he didn't need, not pay Bills and lie to me about it. We got eviction notices because he wasn't paying his share of rent over time. Good riddance. Don't waste your time with anyone that doesn't care about their financial future!

God, please bring back this show!!!

This video is so old, I LOVE IT bcz I lived through those years!! The No cell phone era ❤🌻🌻

So cute!!! 👍 Go away and make a baby! This host is great! 👍

I live on Social Security the first thing I do when my check hits the bank I take a set amount every month and put that into savings then I pay my utilities house and car insurance set aside money for real estate taxes and the rest is mine to buy groceries gas for the car or whatever else I need I worked hard to pay off my mortgage early so so saving is very important to me

I like this couple. They asked for help before they went further upside down. They seem responsible with the house and the trainer baby. True some things should be set aside for awhile, like a big screen television. They'll be good parents. Hope they waited until after the baby arrived to get a dog.

It's funny now in 2021, looking back on what they thought was a fancy big screen tv in 2005. What will we think 15 years from now?

It's amazing how many people make way more money than my husband and i and are in monster dept compared to us. We even have a house and a baby. It's simple, pay your bills, then buy groceries, and if something's left over save it for rainy day.

I went through my ATM withdrawals and I was shocked. And i couldn't remember everything I used that money for. I haven't gone back to the ATM since then. She could just tighten up the screws on her table and it wouldn't squeak. It would be more stable, too.

I thought it was so cute and fun how they turned their argument over a big purchase into a game night/funny debate/entertainment with their friends. It turns an annoying argument into a chance to have fun with their friends. I'm keeping that one in mind for the future 😄

Wait...they spent $550 on stuff for a baby when she's not even pregnant yet and they have a bunch of debt. What the hell? Gail told them to price things out, not to actually buy. It could be years before they actually get pregnant, especially given that they are older. That money should have gone toward their debt.

I can't never understand the buy now paid later..insane..!

Don't buy this baby stuff new. It's a waist of money. You can find everything like new on the second Hand market for a fraction of the price.

Sure wish we could have known how each couple did going forward. Some you watch and just know they wouldn't change their ways and others you root for to do amazing. This couple was one I really wanted to see do good for themselves and I'm curious if they actually made that baby on their mini honeymoon.

Both my hubby and I save back extra cash every month - it has come in handy, especially this year the $ I had saved back was spent buying from a consignment store & estate liquidation store 90% of the furniture we needed to furnish our new to us home after traveling for 12 years in a motorhome around the country (USA).

If they were really serious about having a baby, they wouldn't be buying anything else until their debt is paid off. ...and then get married.

They chose tv over a dining table and didn't even bring up that kids will need a table? The kids they want to have

We had to put a new roof on our house. We got a red metal roof. Now all our neighbors want one. It was twice what a regular roof would be. But the roof will last 75 years. Still have alot left to do, but a little at a time.

Buy Now Pay Later often has much higher interest rates, some retailers go for more than 30%. Easy for him, but not so for some when it came to earning the money to pay for their habits. The wobbling table was a bit of a giggle for me.

Love this couple.

Dining room set > big screen TV . Dang his friends just wanted to watch big tv meh.

He wanted a dog!!?? You can't afford it

I don't get the mind set of people thinking they are 'getting something' with buy now pay later... I feel like a total chump if the credit card company / department store / car dealer makes so much more off me than they do off the next person who pays cash and is done. And it's not like you really have to delay getting what you want. If you delay the first big purchase, like a car, until you can really afford it, then you don't have a monthly payment. After that, it's really fast to save for the next item. So it's just ONE time you have the 'pain'. My husband and I did that when we were young, and bought inexpensive used cars when our friends were buying new. But then we never had car payments. We were able to save up and pay for nicer, newer cars. As we got older and made more money, we just saved larger amounts towards the next purchase. Now we usually buy new cars, always cash, and we've been keeping them for about ten years. So much cheaper over the life of the car!

I love the show!!!

Purchasing for a baby they don’t have. Wasn’t the task “research” costs associated with a baby?🤔

This is a video I had to watch for hw🧍🏻‍♀️

Great couple.

I wonder what happened to this couple. Did they have a baby? Nice people.

Bring backthe older longer episodes.

They’re in so much trouble they have to call Gail yet the day before she arrives he wants a big screen TV. Freaking man child. Run lady rub.

These two are going to be successful.

I would think you'd get more use out of a dining room set than a TV that would be outdated in a short time

Buy both second hand.

These shows are a very shortened version of the real show. Please let us see the long episodes.

I miss those old $20 bills.

i wonder if they had that baby....

Swiss Chalet lol

Don’t they have baby showers on Canada?

How can you even think of bringing a baby for the next 18yrs when you have no $$$?? Even with 2nd hand shopping,handouts,etc kids are very very expensive. They should get their finances in order together& as individuals before they add more debt into their lives. Debt Doesn't just go away overnite. Bad spending habits are a long term pattern like any addiction. Would love an Update.

Wonder what they did with the $6000 she saved?

I know a couple one is a spender and one a saver and i fear the saver withh just be done no going back

"Now we have hydro, gas, water, insurance." Hydro isn't water? What is hydro?

2 adults, and $100K smh

I would have used some of the $6,000 the wife had squirreled away to help pay off debt. I'd try to pay off the credit cards with the highest interest. Some of the $6,000 would also go into an emergency fund, maye $2,000.

lol 654

Glad they don't see it.and they they will get pregnant and. Mess up there lives for life

FYI the average person today after graduating college owes about $50k-$80k without a mortgage

How old are they? They look a little old for having children.

noooooooooooooooo babay

Half of what they bought for the baby won't be used... Waste of 💸
