I'm £17,000 In Debt | FULL EPISODE | Spendaholics 

She’s a good example of how deals actually make you spend more money...it’s exactly what companies want

I literally cannot get over the fact she went on all those holidays for just £4,000 including the states. It cost me almost £1500 just to fly to SF to see family over Christmas 😬😬 Or the fact all that shopping cost her just £25. This whole programme has just made me realise how bad inflation has actually gotten. Those of us in our 20's and under have just been so fucked over.

Her husband really needs to spend more time with her regardless of his work

My god, that is one frigid husband. She’s literally talking about how he’s emotionally unavailable and he can’t even get up and give her a hug.

The husband is sooo fed up with the situation. “They’re lovely” 🙄😡

'I'll pay for it out of next weeks budget.....'. That sums up chronic debt and financial insecurity.

Her face when she first saw the huge stack of shoes was priceless

Ok so this is the ONE episode where I think “meh, it was probably worth it” when I think of all those trips she took, the memories she made, the different countries she experienced.

she needs a hug from her husband

Love the aesthetics of those days ... seems like yesterday and yet so much has changed ....

Her husband's work absorb 100% of his time, he says. And yet he got married. He talks of her as if she is one of his employees.

I think "shoe fetish" and her passion in buying shoes are quite different 🤣 I cracked up when heard the narrator use that term

'I'm quite a private person', but I do like to be centre of attention on an hour long TV documentary! 🤪🤪🤪

Shopping like this is trying to fill a hole in your life for whatever reason

My husband has had it with me🤣🤣🤣 I spend my own cash but he’s sick of seeing purses and candles coming into the house 😆

I think I have 7 pairs of shoes, including sandals and winter boots.

I'd rather not have luxurious things than drown in debt. I am stunned with how this lady spends.

This was awesome ! She and I have so much in common. When I was a bit younger I was a shoes and clothing horse-almost every day ! I had to dress smart for court and so on. I learned that I was not growing as a person until I faced "myself". I am not as bad as I feared ! LOL. Years have passed and the shoes "I would die for" passed as well. Having money in savings and donating to women's projects has blessed my life. Laying my head down at nite with a sense of well being beats shopping any day !! 🤗🤗🤗s to you, girl. Job very well done.

Worst statement from a male psychologist “her husband is who he is, and she needs to learn to accept that. She needs to learn how to communicate her needs, even if no one is listening”. Absolute rubbish!! Her husband needs to learn to communicate just as much. Period. My parents don’t communicate, never have, and now, in their 70’s, my mother absolutely hates him. He shows no emotion so none of us know how he feels about that. She is desperate to leave, but can’t afford it. We’ve been telling her for at least 50 yrs to leave him. She stayed for his pay check. It’s very sad, but it’s also very sad to hear this “dr” say, “he is who he is”. He’ll end up divorced if she starts taking good enough care of herself.

What a lovely woman. I love how much she loves the shoes on the staircase! I hope she has managed to get more of what she needs in her life. Therapy would be great, as it gives so much self awareness and control. I hope she has managed to change her relationship to something more fulfilling, and to stand up for herself.

The part of this video when she is staring and is completely mesmerized by all of her "beautiful" shoes on the stairway and the Psychological Coach saying that this is a "disaster" -priceless 🤣

I don't see any real motivation for Adeline to change. She said her husband doesn't care what she buys, and that she can even quit work if she wants. Her father's expectations aren't going to change, and saving money isn't going to impress him if he wants her to earn more, not save more. Her friends are spenders just like she is, and the whole cast of characters has enabled and encouraged her to spend recklessly, because that is what they all do, pretty much. She is one of those who can find that her life is upside down over night. She could be a widow tomorrow. Money seems to flow in the streets in her life, and they probably just want to keep her happy, since she has no real contribution. Which is the basic problem. She is like the house cat. And she knows it. She married someone like dear old Dad, neither of which see her as valuable in their own judgment. That will not change. Cold business men are just that. She has her friends and her cat, and that is who she has. And her shoes. She needs to find an outlet to go take care of others, and find her value in that way. She could do volunteer work with the homeless, in soup kitchens, or any number of important outlets. Then she will find that people appreciate what she does out side of the narrow views of her husband and father.

UK homes are generally so small how can you accumulate so much

I wish they would make new episodes instead of these 15 year old shows

When the experts check out the house the fridge is bursting with food; at the start of cold turkey there's hardly anything in there...

I just want to say that especially with shoes "designer" names mean nothing in terms of quality. Look for a shoe store that cares more about the shape of your foot, your insole and can talk about the parts of the shoe and match fit so that you are comfortable. I have bought many popular brands and they don't last very long. But on the same note buying the cheapest shoes you can find is a bad idea too because they are horribly uncomfortable and fall apart. Mainly I look for good deals on quality items. Leather is a great shoe material vs plastic.

She's so pretty and I love her style. Great genuine personality, really enjoyed the show and wish Adeline all the best.

Pretty sure a spa break in the south east would be comparable in price to a weekend in Prague....

I wonder if Mark & Adeline are still together....... so strange how she developed a shopping addiction from lack of communication/ emotional communication 😒

I never had any shoes when I was a kid, that's how I became a shoe nut.

So she earns 30k a year her husband earns 4 times that 120k so there household income is 150k a year. 17k in debt is really not bad.

I like her. She doesnt come off as entitled or arrogant, like the others on this show.

How can she be a manager when she has so much debt? She cannot manage her basic life. Why waste money on stuff that will just devalue and get ruined. She expects her dad to bail her out all the time, the dad has no boundaries

Professionals - ‘Don’t spend so much’

Finally a conversation about their emotions and it only took TWO bottles of wine!! Hmmm ok...

Funny calling mass produced fashion 'unusual.' I have a closet full of unusual clothes - 75% are from thrift stores.

She doesn’t want to change and her husband doesn’t care either so there’s no incentive or motivation for change to happen.

I don't know why with that small amount of money she has for the cold turkey she didn't wait till the following week or ask her husband to pick up the dry cleaning.

That *GINA* Brand looks Cheap AF 😂😂

Black stockings not with those shoes 👠

I was in debt once no where near this amount but bad enough it was horrible suffering cause of being broke to pay it back never again

"It's been a pain getting up TEN minutes early." Me: 🥴🥴

Wonder how she turned out all these years later and whether she is still married

Mention of Imelda Marcos in this context is.... amusing.

She tries to fill a hole inside where the husband should put love and attention. We stay with the man who reminds us of our father. When we don't see it and stay, we may need a lot of shoes and massages in trying to get warmth and attention. I find it sad.

I been to a thrift store and see people fill a cart with just shoes so guessing for gifts or try resell anytime. i try wear out or wear and tear anything till i toss it any so not have so many new shoes lol. i really do not spend a lot on shoes just know they last a few months or more then then gotta get some new any lol.

If I had $17,000 in debt, ALL of my clothes and shoes would be designer brands

She said she has 60 shoes and buys 5 pair a month, that is basically a years worth. So she only bought shoes for a year?

Ben goes all blazing squad at the end ... what a baller.

She seems to have an empty life. She needs to find some meaning. Usually that comes from helping others. Her spa weekend was just the same self indulgence as every other thing in her life. The experts are missing the point in my opinion. Also unless she and her husband can find something they can do together I can't see the marriage lasting.

Love this, thank you ...looking forward to more episodes...can you also do Bank of Mum and Dad?

She's very pretty and has such a genuine lovely personality. Her style is quite unique too but she looks elegant

What she needed was a husband with time for her. (And his massive income possibly made her feel inferior.) She needed a new interest - a hobby, a passion, and maybe a different job. Some people in her position turn to another man - hope she didn't.

Where do people put all this stuff that they are constantly buying!? 60 pairs of shoes a year...

I think that being the primary breadwinner for our family may be part of the reason I have been so thrifty. I had enough stimulation from a demanding professional career and never needed to shop for fun. It would be easy for me to throw stones as her, but I don’t want to. My husband also gives me much more emotional attention than this gal gets from her husband. I feel a bit sorry for her.

When I was on my tight budget I spent $20 a week on groceries just for me. Now it is upwards of $120 a week for the four of us depending.

Anyone else find it funny they spend money on items to simply shock the person to get them to spend less money? I'd like to know what they do with the items after their shock. In one episode it was plastic sea creatures to illustrate how much money that person spends on seafood. How is that not a waste of money?!

OMG I own one pair of Skechers, one pair of slippers, one pair of half decent shoes and one pair of boots!

I don't like Benjamin always bring "Childhood trauma" for the reason..... It's not always childhood trauma brings you problem. What if he is feeling bad about his thin hair . I don't think it started from his childhood....

This woman is in loads of debt and needs to stop spending money. So the 'expert' takes her to try on designer shoes!! They really don't make programmes like this anymore!

It is not later then year 2002. you can see that on how the fashion looked.

With their combined income they should have no debt except maybe for a mortgage

Half of these shows are just “Daddy Issues: The Series”.

Don't own a credit card now, never spend money I don't have, why do people think credit cards are equal to money, they are not, don't spend unless you have money in your account, end of story!

So she married the emotional equivalent of her father.

She makes 30k and he makes 120k? That 17k debt, even though it's all personal, shouldn't really be a big deal. Paid off in six months?

why did they replace benjamin fried in season 2?

So many pointy 2000s heels

14 credit cards? What the hell?!

Loving this show

£17 on 2 drinks: was there a war on?

A dozen trips a year?! Her carbon footprint must be Bigfoot sized, jeez.

I suppose my taste is very different. Ididn't like any of those shoes, except the pink glitter ones, but would never wear or buy them. I have just been repairing my backback with needle an thread. I could go out an buy one but I don't like this one to become a pile on the landfill just yet:-D.. Iwanted to watch a few more episodes, but there's toomany commercial breaks. sorry I know you want tomakesome money, but this might not be the way if you shy away viewers

They are bailing her out so she continues to be dependent on them

Adeline Garman... what an appropriate name for her, lol! We become addled to shopping due to the release of dopamine that we get from every single purchase being so short lived. Then, before we know it we need that fix again... Every addiction is fundamentally the same in that respect!! 🍾🍭🍟🍔💖😱🙏🙄😎💅👙🕶👠👡💍💄👜👒👑👚

🙋Wow! What a jewel of a husband. He wouldn't have to tell me twice that I didn't have to work. Of course it would be hard for me to run along and do what whatever I wanted as he got back to work...NOT!!😄

I dont get the shoe obsession

9:38 😂

Benjamin’s looking for clues...🕵🏻

Thesd people always had tons of clothes and shoes and no proper place to store them

I think theyre a good team

This makes me think about my own life.. I see the numbers she spends on things and it doesn't sound that bad to me (the 17,000 pounds of debt notwithstanding). She took all those vacations and never eclipsed 4,000? I'd do that with one trip to California. Her weekly budget is not even enough to fill my car gas tank for a full week. I've also tried making a packed lunch and I've concluded that I dont actually spend less buying the components to make my lunch than I do if I buy my lunch. This austerity plan is a good one to have her climb out of debt, but I'd suggest its a horrible one if one is supposed to "live".. A life lived on bread and water alone is not much of a life, tho admittedly there are increasing numbers of people these days that seem to have this very struggle each and every day. I'm with this on the excess shoes and trips... but that is also from a guys perspective.. I just dont understand the female obsession with shoes so I have a bias there. If she can suffer for a spell to work off the debt and find some better balance.. I think she's okay.

Need updates

No wonder she spends money or goes away with her friends of she is married to an unemotional brick of a husband

If i m foody i'll prefer to cook delicious healthy meal at home Home-cooked meal is more delicious😋

Wow she reminds me of me with shopping

17K isn't too bad. Some simple adjustments to get out of it.

She's reacting childishly imo when she saw the shoes on the stairs. My God. I understand excitement but she appears to think it's all a joke.

She has a great smile

i m always a cold turkey :D

who goes abroad every weekend......

she is so cute. she really loves shoes.

Those are horrible shoes,why buy 15 ugly shoes that have a pair of designer shoes

Such a beautiful woman :)

I wonder how someone so bubbly ended up marrying that guy... He's like a living brick!

With a so called psychological coach, the psycho babble is inevitable, but tedious.

What is the track 53:26???

What year is this series from? Seems like 2000.

That was an ugly ass picture of a shoe.

Which brans is that pink glitter heels😍
