Damn! That house is so beautiful! I can understand why they bought it and want to keep it. But $12,000 on an area rug and almost $4,000 on curtains? That makes no sense to me.

It makes sense when the quality is evident. In my case I’ve just bought my rugs preowned

[@cabayern9416]

Spoiled brat syndrome.

[@droid2D2C3P0]

@@sneakerfreak2002 there's a certain point on the quality scale where the difference becomes negligible though. A 2k rug is likely very similar in quality. The big difference is between the 200$ and the 2k rug, not the 2k and the 12k. And regardless, quality is irrelevant when you can't afford it lol

[@alicetheegreet]

Also, it’s not even practical items. I could understand spending all of that money if the whole house was getting rugs or if the curtains served as some kind of draft protection/weather proofing; or even if the value of either increased over time. But none of that is true. In fact, the value of these items depreciates faster than a car. I can’t bring myself to do that. I just can’t.

I remember not knowing anything about interest rates when my husband and I were first married and bought a house in 2007! After we were underwater on the mortgage, reality sunk in. It was a huge wake up call. Now we are doing great in our 40s. But it was a real slap in the face.

[@jtidema]

When we were talking about possibly getting engaged, my husband asked what I owed, and my car payment was a much higher percentage interest than his. Right away he said "We're paying off your car first". It made me realize how simple finances really are, and what his commitment was. That's how we did everything from that point forward. Handle the worst thing first, and then the next... We've been married for 35 years.

That house is an example of why a buyer always should require a whole house inspection, the sale contingent on what's found. I had the house held in escrow until the seller of my home put in a foundation, as it was so old (150 years) that it was just built on the dirt. I also had the seller PAY for that new foundation. I didn't care if the house was decorated, I wanted it safe, secure and all systems operational to qualify for insurance.

@@--M--1111I get what you're saying, but this also comes across as you saying "the "smart" thing is to come from a large, financially stable and loving family". Maybe judge your acquaintances less for having "personal issues" and "not getting along with thier parents." You might not know the whole story. Most people dont' confide the darkest, most painful parts of their past to "acquaintances." But you need to know, parents who can co-sign loans or pay for weddings might NOT be parents it is safe or smart to live with. And you will very rarely know from the outside looking in who the real monsters are. Money isn't the only virtue. Plenty of people have parents who have money, and are incredibly abusive. And society loooves to pressure people to put up with abuse from parents. People love to tell you that you need to learn to just "get along" with them, as if everyone who has family problems is just a spoilt teenager who doesn't appreciate a loving family. People love to say things like "but they're family!" or "they meant well" or "but they're your parents, of course they love you." Not everyone can live with family.

The smart ones who get along with their parents buy a multigeneration home altogether share all expenses like I did. No stress, no hassle and the bank respects us all. Babysitters for kids at all times and I waited when I was financially stable and have traveled and done all the things I wanted in my 30s. Most of my old acquaintances were jealous because they did not feel like doing the same as I because they did not get along with their parents and preferred maintaining the image of we struggle alone which is stupid because most got their house co-signed by their parents along with the car and wedding paid. At least they are smart to wait before having kids. Many just have them and regret them due to financial or personal issues. When she mentioned he is the dream guy because he spends on her wtv she wants...well that is a typical women that digs for gold and gets replacement when she has less. He looks like he is whipped. Do not believe the image. What people show you is what they want you to see. Now they are financially in deep sh*t and are desperate and need help.

It's okay, they are sturdy and you can clean them.

You just puked on 12,000$!! 😅😂

[@ruthirwin8222]

I love this couple and i hope they get to keep their beautiful homr

[@VictoriaMorganawesometori]

What a wonderful and beautiful couple.

[@razazsalih]

His face when she says: No kids if we're in debt!! 😅😉She's definitely lording it over him

[@MyBlazingLife]

He looked like he was about to cry when she said that.

[@katt6894]

He looked like he was ready to cry.

[@solidstate9451]

That's reasonable. When she goes on maternity leave they will have even less money.

[@chilaeyaezell2171]

@@solidstate9451 I agree! My partner and I plan on having a child in the future, however we both have agreed that will be after we have eradicated our non-mortgage debt. It is important to us for me to stay home at least the first year with the baby so eliminating our debt, fully funding our emergency fund, and reducing our overall expenses is essential to being able to live comfortably on the loss of income that will result from me not working.

[@M_SC]

Good for her.

[@NDWest]

Nowadays, in Canada that house would be $1.5M easy.

[@janebaker4912]

They spend 9k a month!? 😱

[@lizzabbott]

Wow ! Impressive. They made great progress and they grew. Congrats to them

[@ErisstheGoddessofmanhwas]

9100 ? I think they are the couple with the most spending so far , from all the episodes i saw at least .

[@kaydublin5164]

Beautiful home.

[@RoseEveringham]

Glad things turned out well for this lovely couple. Their home is beautiful. 😊

[@BlackNight603]

Thank God I haven't seen this one yet!!! Made my day.

[@lindaelliott184]

Beautiful home but why, why, why would you buy silk draperies and expensive rugs when you plan to have kids running around on them spilling, pooping and vomiting on them? Kids are messy.

[@s.e.7564]

Probably the same reason why they are buying things they can't afford: child mentality and needing a reality check

[@rebeccashields9626]

To be fair a really quality wool Persian rug cleans up incredibly well and is very stain resistant. I am all for buying quality pieces that last, but only with cash when you can actually afford it.

[@theseeker4700]

Thank you for uploading!!!!!

[@Lolo80290]

I need an update. Are they still together?

[@trudyfoster5320]

Gail got me out of debt! Best book and show ever!

[@dreamingfool2]

I hope after paying off their debt the wife invested some money in hair treatments. Her poor hair is so damaged 😱

[@estellegetty1995]

Is definitely straightens it when wet. Signature 2000s lol

[@laurabullinger7183]

His hair, though, is luxurious; so it evens out!

[@Sandra-Renea]

That’s all I could look at! It’s so fried I just kept wanting her to cut it all off.

[@haute03]

I hope she chopped it all off and went with a pixie cut. That definitely would have suited her!

[@jenjones90]

Hopefully he invested in rhinoplasty too.

[@nodrogytsirk]

I loved this when it came out. Fun to revisit and look at the cost of things way back then!

[@channell11]

The idea that a bannister and some exterior mortar is holding up insurance is wild. And getting a contractor to do anything for $1200 is pretty outstanding.

[@PatriciaBaillie-nd4vv]

Been watching Gayle for years. Love this show

[@Chances29]

Honestly I would sell those rugs and curtains

[@enterprisemarinerv2608]

Most likely they can't get even close to what they paid for. By the way these 2 made decisions and valued priorities, there's a big chance there were misrepresented with exaggerated qualities.

[@dylanricany6483]

This lady has got to be Caleb Hammer’s Mom 😂

[@madfox995]

I was just saying this 😂

[@pouetpouetdaddy5]

jut remember her catchphrase...the shit gonna hit the fan at one point...so saves money. My job was so secure and I couldn't see how I could have money problem because the money flow. Then covid-19. The shit hit the fan, my job lockdown for almost 2 years ( entertainment sector). But I followed her advice, and everything was ok, my savings help me a lot. But I thought so much often about her catchphrse during the lock down

[@queen.kristal8395]

happy they worked it out. the man has such a expensive taste with no money.

[@margaretzeaiter8955]

I was married to a Lebanese man for 18 years. It’s a cultural thing, believe me. I hope this marriage survives.
