Teen Newlyweds Spiraling In Debt - Til Debt Do Us Part - The Young And The Clueless

[@bicheth-ul4rz]

You all can judge these people as much as you want. But, just remember they're on here because they asked for help. That's the most responsible thing they have done. Knowing there's a problem and turning to someone they know will help them.

[@johnkelly9451]

Agree 💯 percent with you. Well said. Very brave to ask for help. Very fortunate to have Gail's help and put theirselves out there and stand in their truth. The possibility of $5000.00 is a motivator too to pay things down.

[@peggypeggy4137]

A lot of times commenters watch this show for 5 minutes, hear the reason why these couples are in financial trouble and judge one or both of them from there. I thought this was a lovely couple. I wonder where they are now?

[@patriciareed559]

True, honestly I think they will be okay. They just needed a real reality check and to see everything in black and white. Once they saw the math, they were like...oh snap, we'd better get our stuff together. Also they are learning that somethings are more important than making mega bucks!!

At least she understands that she doesn’t know what desperate feels like. I’m the same way. My parents struggled when I was little, but came up when I was in middle school. Anytime I needed help or was stuck in a bad situation, they were there for me. No strings attached. That’s a huge blessing that not everyone has.

So many things I wanna say 😂 1. She’s a fine example of why if my husband & I have a daughter, she will not be daddy’s girl when it comes to wants & money 💰 2. I wanted to go to university but decided not to because debt scared me too much. Now my husband & I have a good amount of money behind us and zero debt, we’ve set up a higher education fund for his son & my sister. Planning for the future. Same will happen for any kids we have together.

[@javaskull88]

I didn’t have my first credit card until I was 29 years old. I never asked my parents for help. I had to budget and stretch every dollar. I had to turn down invitations to events and vacations I couldn’t afford. I wore outdated clothing, couldn’t eat in restaurants and didn’t have a nice car. Best education ever, and a big part of the reason I’ll l be able to retire in a few more years. Credit cards are one of the worst things that can happen to young people.

[@AnimatedIdiotGuide]

Restaurants and fancy vacations are severely overrated. Whether you can afford it or not is irrelevant.

They ARE required in our state (Missouri). Financial literacy is a core requirement for high school graduation. But the real lessons are taught by example at home.

I wish Gail was available when I was growing up. My father knew about how money works but never shared it with me. I grew up in the years that females got married and stayed home.

[@myyt3824]

That is downright cruel of parents to do. My parents were very transparent about money and life in general. They still are. I’ve seen all of my parents tax returns, their investments, retirement accounts, monthly income and expenses, Quicken finance data, all of it. They are the reason I was able to buy two homes by the time I was 27 and why I’m able to manage money as well as I do. Also why I’m so focused on retirement planning and saving so I can be work optional in my 50’s. Hiding good money habits from your kids is a disservice.

I wish my husband and I had had something like this when we were their age. Then again, we were their age in 2008, so stable jobs was more of a concern than budgeting. Oh well, we did get ourselves on track and hubby has a career, not just a job! Feels good after struggling.
