$1300 Per Month On DOG FOOD? - Til Debt Do Us Part 413 - Til Dogs Do Us Part

Stephanie and Malcolm pamper their fur babies with organic food, weekly training classes and endless treats. Even Stephanie admits the $1,300 a month they spend on their dogs is crazy. What’s even crazier is that this couple has any debt at all - with a joint income of over $100,000 and no children, Stephanie and Malcolm should be in the clear. Gail has a simple plan to get them out of debt, but it’s going to require making some changes. And that seems to be the one that Stephanie simply won’t do.

[@heather9715]

[@shirleyhess7]

$0000.00 is all they deserve.

[@philippoon8879]

The $3000 was a result of the pressure from the company responsible for the show’s production. As a result of their commitment I think they shouldn’t even get a dime out of the production company at all. They make real reasonable money then, having dual income no kids should easily be enough to tackle debt if they just have the right plan.

[@lindazehnbauer5406]

Yes! I thought $1000 would be generous!

[@2ndhandSue]

Agreed! I've seen some other couples fail on this show, but none of them were as rude and obnoxious as Stephanie. She was looking down on Gail from the first minute they met - I wanted to slap her and say "have a little respect here, this is the person who's going to get you out of the hell you created for yourself". She fought Gail all the way through instead of shutting up and listening, and then doing what she'd been told to do. I really don't know why they applied to be on the show. They must have watched other episodes of it and knew exactly what would be expected of them. They wasted the space that another couple would have used wisely and learned from.

They were none of those things - the attitude was loud and clear all throughout the time Gail spent with them, and Stephanie's favorite saying throughout the whole time was "I don't care what Gail thinks - I'm happy and that's all that matters".

I totally disagree with you. As usual, Gail was being rude and insulting as she always is on her shows. This couple didn't like being insulted and blamed on the first challenge, and stood up to Gail for good reason! And the changes Stephanie made to the first challenge was acceptable - it was still along the same lines. Same with the third challenge, the garden - they did what was best for their situation with the dogs. The REAL PROBLEM Gail had with it was she didn't get asked for the changes and approve them herself, because she's rude, insulting, controlling and a know it all. If I was in Stephanie and Malcolm's position when Gail handed over the cheque, I would have told Gail off, told her to keep the cheque, that they were NOT airing the show, to hand over the tapes and if they didn't lawyers were being involved! I have to wonder how Gail Vaz Oxlade ever had ANY Tv Shows - no way would I tell anyone to do this!

@@robwalton2007 They can’t just air episodes where it’s all positive attitudes and mindsets, they need a variety of the kinds of people and characters to keep the show interesting. Gail is just straight to the point, no BS, no nonsense and no negativity. This featured couple should have absolutely no bonuses as these two have no true desire to change at the beginning and solely came for the money. Gail with her composed stance, she just has to be cruel to be kind to get the message across to the people who are indebted. Attitudes like that clearly shows that Stephanie is the dominant person in the relationship failure, she herself would be unfit to be raising children. Her self centred character already confirms that. Even $3000 was overly generous having completed just one challenge but at the end of the day, her attitude in the process was unpleasant.

I’ve never seen this show before, I’m a tad shocked at how clueless and stubborn this couple is. Why contact this show for help if you’re not going to participate and follow through to the letter as suggested??? I’m most blown away over their pet budget! I have pets in the home as well, 4 of them to be exact. We buy bagged kibble that’s a tad more expensive bc it has better nutritional value, nothing fancy.. and we have pet insurance for them which we didn’t always have until we broke it all down and realized just how expensive those vet visits can be! As far as all the extras like toys and treats? They are like children and sometimes have more fun playing with the box the toy came in. LoL I added a couple of pebbles to the inside of an empty water bottle and my GSD puppy goes nuts over it! In my opinion, if you over treat a dog they tend to get bored and not like them anymore. The same goes for toys, our dogs have a few of them and they might get new ones once a year, maybe twice if something gets broken.. which they get very excited about. All I could think about is what’s going to happen with this couple when they no longer have a roof over their heads bc they can’t afford the mortgage? I get it though, I was in debt once in my early 20’s when I gained access to my first credit card. I went to a debt counselor for help, got my act together and never made that mistake again.. bc it’s scary! LoL What absolutely took the cake for me is the watch that the wife gifted her husband at the end. I guess they are going to learn the hard way. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Who is your pet insurance through?

[@childfreegamer8840]

100%. It’s way too much. Even if you aren’t having kids it’s no reason to spend so much on dogs. Like I’m not having kids but my dog is so happy when I bring out his bubbles lol

[@Zoot_of_Anthrax]

@@beigeturtleneck7511 to be honest most kids are like this too. The boxes tend to be more entertaining than the toy. I had cats and i ashamedly kept an empty (closed) pizza box laying on my livingroom floor for years. Id swap it out when we ordered pizza for the new one. If i threw the box away the cat would knock it out of the trash and drag it across the floor. He would sit on it like a throne. Made him happy so i finally gave in. Damn cat liked that box more than any toy. Hahaha

@@Zoot_of_Anthrax Yup!! Boxes are great! My cats Love empty cardboard egg cartons! Scratch, shred, carry around in their teeth...lol Great Fun!! 😻👍

Wow. That was jacked up on many levels. Gail was a champ!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

How do you spend $5000 more a month than you make? How?That's $60,0000 a year that you never had. Unreal.

[@littleblackcar]

There's an episode where the couple spends $18,000 a month more than they make. A month. Not a year. And the husband was a doctor. I still can't picture how that's even possible unless you're buying cars or something.

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

@@littleblackcar These couples must live in their own delusional, oblivious bubble. I'm guessing they're thinking, lets buy/spend whatever we want, then we will claim bankruptcy and not have to worry about paying for any of it. What else can explain this sort of behavior. I would love to have a conversation with them. I'm going to try and find that episode. Thanks.

[@catlady14]

They didn't deserve a dime. Gail was generous here.

[@starbrightblue4936]

Stephanie….. looks like his mother. Why did he ever marry her ??

[@catherinewilke5583]

I suspect he is gay and she is a cover. He settled for her because he really likes men. She’s just for show. I’ll bet he was thrilled when Grindr started 😂

[@rubyrose6897]

These two come up with more excuses than can be counted. Everything is just too much work for them.

[@kathryndockrey1477]

$1000 max should have been the cheque

[@marybethjordan8520]

I remember reading a comment that the producers really wanted Gail to hand out money she felt was undeserved and it caused a big problem.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

It finally pushed her to quit.

[@Sacheen81]

Gail should have stayed gone when they quit the first week. They whined more than any couple ever!

[@Dayna_Bennett]

I would’ve only given them $1,000, if that.

[@sassibrit]

They divorced yet?

[@marktannen4030]

Hope so

[@ZillasCoop]

I feel bad for everyone .. even the dogs .. only bored brittanies tear up garden beds... they obv dont get enough exercise on days they dont go to agility. That woman is a spoiled brat

[@tracyspellman2181]

I would have given them $2000 max. They were so disrespectful to her and clueless

[@LeeLee-ox5pb]

5300.00 over spending a month and the house is turning in to a slum and both of them always have excuses I predict a divorce

[@andreaberryman5354]

My isn't Stephany a spring peach! 😬 She didn't mention that the garden built equity and landscaping is the ONLY equity-building tool owners have that actually INCREASES in value over time. They might have enjoyed it more.

[@TrangHuynh-hz9vb]

This couple drive me crazy. They deserve stay in debt and you can't fix the stupid.

[@Silvermoonscorpion]

Thankfully they had the common sense to not have kids. That's the real win here.
