Rob Taylor oh i need to see that.

There was one about a Turkish actor who auditioned for musicals during the show who now teaches theater. Looks like he’s doing great.

What is his wixpedia name? I’d love to read up on him. Thank you in advance.

Here’s his episode kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbGemLulybPLgGQ.html And here’s a web site with info-not sure it’s his web site commontheatre.co.uk/ahmetahmet

HermesLVDiva1976 Oops. See below.

yes, but this tv serie can open eyes to many people who have the same problem.

Same thing with early 2000's American TV though. Watch some of it. It shows its age, lol.

To be fair, American TV in the early 2000s had some cringe-worthy stuff. I can remember growing up watching shows like My Super Sweet 16, From G to Gent, Pimp my Ride, and Queen Bees.

I honestly don’t get this comment. You are comparing television in the early 2000s to 2020? Makes no sense. Everything depends on the production budget.

yep. his champagne bill alone is double my yearly income. and yet i don't have a penny of debt to anyone.

Yeah 2020 version of these people would all be wannabe 'influencers' lol

That’s a very valid point

Olly Smith wine expert has done well 🙂

Lol

Well, blame might not be the appropriate word, but it's apparently the emotional cause, and once he recognised it, he's been able to assume control over his life and not be driven by unregulated emotions and obsessions. Time and again I find myself almost disliking the story subjects... until we find the true story. This shows that we have to reserve judgement until we know the facts, and also don't assume we will always get them fully, nor necessarily have the right to all of them. The people on this show play a skilled game of enabling people to take control but giving them the self respect and motivation to empower themselves. Too often we suppress the less attractive elements of our lives, hoping it will just go away. But emotions are not like that. These series are just so valuable.

The fact that you pay attention to how your behavior affects your son means you’re a good Mom and no one is perfect. Good job Mama ❤️

Hi Kris, l can totally relate to your concerns about your son. Iwas a single Mum and I also suffer mental health issues (sporadic chronic depression). l also worried constantly about the effects of my bad health on my two sons but as ranramos replied, the fact that you pay attention to it speaks volumes. My boys are now 25 & 27 and have turned out fantastic! Kind, considerate, generous & living men. xxx

Well, it could make him more kind and compassionate. The fact that you talk to him about things helps.

Agree. He always thinks it's the parents and tries to enforce things on them.

ArtJourneyUK He is in fact qualified and has achieved a wealth of experience and success in his life

I don't think he was very wrong. Paul had been sexually abused by a family friend. Benjamin obviously picked up on the anger, but not for the reason he though.

He is qualified, I’ve looked him up and he has all the credentials.

He's absolutely qualified and to be fair, the parents and upbringing is in 99%of the cases the problem.

HAHAHAHAHAH trueeee

Annabelle dixen..... and annabelle died,

Exactly what I thought

They are not evil if used correctly and payed off in full each month. I've had one for 6 years and never been charged a penny interest.

I pay everything with card, because otherwise I would loose track of where my money went. Never been in debt btw

You need a credit card to build credit for loans etc... they aren’t evil if used rationally. I’ve never been in debt, always saved.

@@dude988 I pay virtually exclusively by card too, but debit only. I can never spend money I don’t have.

The essentials seem to only be stuff you can't make easy or much alteration to, I. E. Rent and bills. Travel to work, there are cheaper alternatives they're not using. I felt bad for the girl who was given a cold turkey budget of 15.50 to include food! She just got others to pay, it was pointless.

They are going cold turkey on non essentials... so they could just give them 0 budget for non essential... but I think it makes more sense to give them a small budget including food and travel so they have to make the decision about what is important and what isn’t... I mean I spend £20 a week on food without trying too hard and most people get at least that as a budget so it’s not totally ridiculous

I thought that too as essential you get to work to earn the money.They should have given the minimum for travel such as bussing it instead of trains as cheaper if they take public transportation or fuel money. Even food is essential but the cold turkey cash should be for a week's grocery shop and not buying lunches out but making it at home and taking it with you.I remember watching this when it first came out. They should do a couple of specials with all the participants seeing how the show worked/failed for them and how it changed them if it did.They should also bring it back as with the recession and price hikes over the last year it's becoming increasingly harder to balance the 📚.

It works, because the subjects of each episode ends up self-aware and empowered. This is the result, don't worry so much about how the sausage is made the result is what counts.

I agree with you, but the exercise is mostly to get the participants to realize how much more they spending than necessary. They can ship for food, but are they smart shoppers? Do they have to drive to work or take public transportation. To me, that is the point of including those costs.

Good job and good luck 😃

Make up last for ever and ever and you can get cheap stuff that still looks fine, or even mid-range stuff that lasts for ever and looks good. I only wear make up if I’m going out or going to work (no longer with masks) so I wouldn’t be skipping on it

I don't have a car and out money in my mortgage. Mortgage free

Actually, I’m really disappointed after looking both Jay and Benjamin up. Benjamin was not a qualified therapist when this show was taped (he apparently is a psychotherapist now). He was a “psychological coach” and “self help writer that went through therapy.” Jay is not a lifestyle expert, but a TV producer with what it seems no financial background. I am hoping they had actual experts when they produced this show. It is good entertainment and most of the participants seemed to do well afterwards, but I feel like the hosts are frauds in a way.

dilwyn thomas haha thats a good one

Koolaid money with no sugar

@@acrylbuddha5326 It's true.

Not sure he can even afford lemonade...

My dog is obsessed with water and swimming. Always wants to join the ducks in the park🙄

He said the same thing to someone else on this show. 😮

Blaming childhood trauma is Benjamin’s one trick pony. Linking Paul’s fear of heights with how he feels about his mother? Huh? Sometimes people just have phobias and they don’t necessarily have anything to do with your family, but are just things in your head. Someone else mentioned Benjamin’s approach as “pop psychology” and I totally agree. What Benjamin completely ignores is that some of these people just never had financial education and their parents enable them financially. Sometimes it’s just that simple.

Emilia WowMuchFun please seek professional help. I mean this is a good way to help you!

Emilia WowMuchFun right?

I thought the same thing! I wouldn't be able to stand up straight

Yes but that's just how you manifest fear. He's a bloke and he's manifesting differently. Kudos to him for mastering that and jumping.

How cool was it that his dad came out with him and was signing along???? Seems like he has really good parents.

A Sweetie!? I can think of many descriptions for him, but sweetie is not one of them

I think he’s lovely as well

I don't see it as blaming in a strict sense. Some of the familymembers is kind of enabling a grown up to remain in an irrosponisible childish place. To fix a problem you need to see the mechanism of it.

Benjamin was very off-putting with his leading questions and always blaming stuff on childhood trauma. I agree about his hypnotic voice - I feel like he would be the type of therapist that would plant fake memories in you, then I realized he wasn’t qualified at all. The first episode I watched, I was like what in the world is a “psychology coach?” I looked him up and when they taped this show, he was not a psychologist or a psychiatrist. He was a “self-help writer who has been through therapy.” What? No way he should’ve been giving people psychological advice. He’s now a psychotherapist, but I couldn’t find what school he went to and his degree even though he has a LinkedIn page. He looks like he doing well now so good for him. There is an actual psychologist they used in this show who I’ve only seen in two episodes, his name is Mark. You can tell he’s an actual psychologist versus Benjamin. Mark would ask open ended questions instead of suggesting why the person was behaving the way they were.

lil shortee Greaves you are able to go to college after writing a sentence like that first one? 🤨

It’s clear then what underlying guilt Benjamin was trying to find. For what guilt the parents we’re paying and Paul was punishing his parents

What kind of a friend are you to reveal this, as if this is everybody's right to know? 'there is no absolute right to know this. In fact, the parents still had the right to reveal according to his wishes and needs.

Lived with parents. Only started to rent a flat. They bailed him out to to tune of £20,000.

535.35 on non-essentials! no rent included.

Credit cards and personal loans?

That amount doesnt include any bills, transport, food etc

​@@laimamika137 it's probably cocaine

Such an expert aren't you?

@@deborahcurtis1385 Hmm I bet you are a delight at parties, thats my expert opinion by the way.

ROFL I saw someone on the London tube and he said, 'you throw the best parties I've ever been to. Ever.' But that's not to the point is it? Your 'expertise' is not required for that assessment. I live in Australia and he recognised me. It was a good moment. I'm guessing those don't happen much to you, which is why the desperate need for YT highs.@@paulosullivan3472

@@paulosullivan3472 Listen mate, this vlog has been full of smart arss comments like yours with very little in the way of understanding. I posted appropriately for your smugness but the kid on work experience who is in charge of the vlog's social media thinks you're a serious wit! You won't be invited to MY parties I'm giving you the tip!

@@deborahcurtis1385 So full of hate and vitriol, I feel sorry for you, your life must be a lonely one.

Must be nice to have good parents

Do you always come in and oversimplify so you can pass judgement? The situation was complex (as it is so often in real life) and his mother miscarried and lost a child, a very traumatic event. So she compensated and clung onto her other child, and this damaged him emotionally. It's not 'wrong' of her to do this it's both human and understandable. These days there is more emotional support available which is why we need to use those services according to need, and when we can.I thought he showed courage and emotional maturity to react as he did.

oi, 15 years from now you'll say that about your haircut you have today

AHA... there it is.... over mothering, keeping him a BABY...... sorry about the dead child really..... now you have raised an adult baby..... all that under development will never ever ever be gotten past.....

Do you often hang around social media looking for an opportunity to denigrate people who are trying to face their, habits and improve themselves?
