Four families have been challenged to turn their financial lives around. During the web series, the contestants and readers can learn how to make smart money choices. Of course a reality show isn’t a reality show without a little incentive. $10,000 will be given to the household that makes the most progress.
- Erin, a single third grade teacher from Portland, Ore. Erin is looking forward to getting her spending under control, in addition to her classroom.
- Brad, Tina and their two young children from Everett, Wash. Recent life changes (including Tina taking a 50% pay cut to spend more time with her family) have created financial hardship for this family.
- Willis and Adria, who are ready to retire, from Salem, Ore. This couple’s long-term debt is threatening their hopes and dreams.
- Julia and Danny, who live and attend college in Eugene Ore. This engaged couple would like to start their new life together debt-free.
