The £26,000 Debt | FULL EPISODE | Spendaholics 

Lol was exactly thinking the same. Those low bootcut jeans with short tops made even the skinniest person look like they had a bad case of muffin top.

Low rise were awful but my god I miss boot cuts

@@Mimi-cq4bg yeah it kinda boggles my mind low rise was such a big thing..I mean girls' pants always showed their ass and their shirts always raised up when they sat down. Teen years spent pulling your shirt down and your pants up back in the 00s . Fuck that.

The boot cut wearing basterdos lol 😂

I MISS THE BOOT CUTS, I wonder if skinny jeans are on the way out.

I reluctantly agree - in the first episodes I saw Benjamin had excellent theories and approaches that the clients gelled with but as I've kept watching I've been noticing that it can be forced and patronising. I feel like Benjamin makes better TV - because this felt like it was missing a dramatic story but Mark is probably a much better psychologist.

Well done … you have completely turned your life around, realised your intellectual abilities and love your life , high five, to a successful lady.

That's great. It's hard for people to change; Im glad you were able to do it.

£3 bottle of wine. Them were the days.

Hahaha yes!

She said that because she lives at home and her parents pay for food.

It is a waste. I barely eat I’m fine

Thanks Christian, really appreciate you comment ☺️ The show didn’t help in anyway and was just staged for entertainment purposes together with no support after the show! Since the show I’ve managed to turn things around paid off my debts within a few years and have a beautiful family and home of my own now! Wish I’d never done the show 14 years ago! 😂 the things you do when your young 😬 xx

And it was all she knew, her parents hadn’t helped her develop her financial skills and her Mom gave in to her requests for food and money. I think the whole family learned a lot from the experience.

Just in case you are wondering about her progress, she updated it in the comment section. I am also wondering about their progress after this show ends. Oh, look, she replied you. (I edited after I saw her Comment)

@@adelemaguire5831 really wish you all the best Adele , just watched your episode there and I think you did really well with how they put you in some emotional and financial situations especially the bit where you had to go round your home town and ask people about rent and stuff and how much they pay each month to there parents, I think you coped brilliantly in that scene, I'm so happy for you that you have managed to pay off all your debts shows real strength and will power to be able to do that, I think it's shocking how you never got any support after the show aired, but so glad that you managed to accomplish your goal to pay off your debt and it shows that you did take things seriously and you saw that you did have to make a few changes but at the end of the line there was light at the end of the tunnel for you and you should be and feel so proud of yourself too 🙂, you seem like a lovely wonderful woman and it's wonderful you have a family of your own now too wishing you and your family love and happiness ❤️x

a lot of people think you have to be sad every day to be depressed...couldnt be farther from the truth. you can be very depressed and not be sad every day

What put in the ground it grew back... It's their fault

For their own sakes they need to stop financing her. It's the wrong kind of love.

QueenCloveroftheice amen I'm nearly 28 and still have a few stuffed toys from childhood I just can't part with 😂 being an adult shouldn't mean being lifeless and boring

I think it's fine to own them, I've kept my one favourite stuffed cat too, but she lives in the attic - It does give a very juvenile impression, which isn't attractive in an adult. If a man kept his action man collection I'd do a runner! 😆

Chris Carson well it's a conditioning from society that you get to a certain age and then stop doing and having things but look at the lives of the people who don't have fun and then look at the people who are young at heart with that childlike wonder - who is happier? All of us at heart want to return to that state of mind when we were a child when we were fascinated by everything, but it's society that conditions it out of us and has ultimately led us to a path of misery. We need to be serious about some things in life absolutely but if you always maintain that childlike wonder for things you'll be happier.

Agree! Coziness is what I want in my room!

what does that have to do with white walls?

Why do the parents enable her childish behavior?

Why isn't she paying rent and responsible for buying at least part of the family's groceries?

Not poor parents at all.. stupid parent's..enabling her to behave like this

I think she makes their life hell if they say no. Poor parents

Her parents are enablers, who keep her immature, dependent on them, & prevent her from growing up, because of what it means for THEM.

Wendy Gillard yes it's never really the child's fault as the parents don't be firm and say no. There is no way my parents would have funded anything of mine apart from my education. But to be in a full time job and not paying rent to your family? That's lucky. Im still having to live at home and I have to pay rent each month so I certainly can't spend how I want. Teaches you to be money savvy though.

@@greenkitty82 my daughter is home from college because of covid. She's in school full time and works three days a week, plus she babysits and does respite for me. All this on top of two serious, chronic illnesses. She's not paying rent but she buys most of her own food, pays half the car insurance/maintenance and half the utilities.

@@samswoman2009 she should be paying rent.

How much are your bananas then Jen?

Me too! Compared to some others on this show, she really didn’t have a lot of clothes! It seems like she spends her money on going out.

All the best! Please remove external influences and replace them with something healthy too. Glad that your hubby is sticking around.

Thank you for being brave. It definitely is not easy but you’re on the right path

I agree depression, loneliness causes spending

Thank you for your replies. It's a work in progress with the hubby, but we will be ok. It's going to take 7 years to pay off the debt, but we will then be debt free and have worked with a proper budget.

Holy hell... I'm glad you shared it must be hard. Please watch Dave Ramsey, having 1 person control finances intent healthy either. You and you husband are a team you must work as one

She is a semi-alcholic

Btw, she updated about her condition in the comment section. This was filmed 15 years ago. She is almost 40 now. I am always curious about their progress after these kind of shows. Just in case you are, you can her updates.

@@syafiqahsyazanar1814 ty. I just read it

Honestly, thank god. My mum was right when she told me I looked stupid

I hated them and their tiny zips! You couldn’t buy normal waisted jeans *anywhere* back then, urgh

@@ArtJourneyUK ugh they DID have tiny zips, you're right!

I'm forever grateful for that!

After reading the comments I knew they would all be females

teddie552 does she even have eyebrows? LOL

Much better than the current trend of drawing black strips of charcoal on your face.

@@infiltr80r i haven't seen that yet

@@shopmycloset4273 It's everywhere. The so-called "bushy" eyebrows. Ugly as hell.

@@infiltr80r its defo in Liverpool 😁

We prolly all have financial regrets. She's by no means the only young person who blew too much money on clothes and partying. Her parents let her live for free and failed to help her develop a sense of finances...I say they're at least equally to blame. I'm glad she got some direction and got a foundation for adult life.

Thanks for your comment - This was filmed 15 years ago and I’ve just been sent the link by another guy who was on the show! Just reading all the mostly negative comments on here! I’m glad social media wasn’t as rife as it is now - as I can deal with the comments now but back then I would have been so upset! Yes I’ve made huge mistakes but have certainly learnt from them and come back stronger and have a lovely family and home now that I’ve worked hard for - and it certainly makes me cringe to see this popping up again! Wish it could be removed! Xxx

Adele Maguire ...it might be able to be removed, depending what it said in the contract you signed when you took part.

@@adelemaguire5831 I am a 66 year old grandmother who's obviously had much life experience. I only have one message for you...NONE of us would like to see old video of the "worst version" of ourselves. I'm so sorry that you are forced to relive a time in your life you are not proud of. Please give yourself a break, be kind to the Adele of 15 years ago...we all grow up, look back, and are embarrassed or ashamed of things we did. ALL of us, I promise you. And no one should judge, or cast stones, as we all live in glass houses, and we all have a past. I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying a lovely and loved-filled life. Be happy, and be well....❤❤❤

The other day I saw a 2010 episode of One Born Every Minute clip and the 14 year old girl who's birth was on the clip was commenting on the mean things people were saying about her parents on it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Four hundred pounds a month for me is bills,food,clothes,shoes, going out, travel and college expenses.

My ex brother-in-law in law burned through everything his parents gave him. His mother gave him her flat in London. She only took out a mortgage of £100,000 to buy a senior flat. He got restless after three months, sold it and spent everything. Then his father died and left him £40,000. His brothers cut contact with him, but I'll bet anything he blew that on women and clubbing. He's in his 40s, by the way. Definitely old enough to know better. I'll be lucky to get half that when my mother dies. I plan to do a few upgrades on my house and put the rest in a mutual fund.

Oh my thank goodness the hipster look is over, her thong showing was not a highlight.

@@samswoman2009 Oh man, I bet his brothers were mad that mother gave him the London flat instead of selling it and adding to their inheritance. Or maybe, the flat was part. If his inheritance. Anyway, why do so many parents enable their children instead of teaching them the value of money? Or let the child stand on their own two feet?

I don't think they've ever heard of tough love...

@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 I have

🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emma Smith MEE

Absolutely Ridiculous I have clothes from high school, and when I do buy clothes it’s second hand clothes that are name brand. I also have a 8 month baby so it’s all about him.

I highly recommend using the app Mercari to sell your clothes you don’t wear anymore! I’ve used it downsize myself closet but also to treat myself to cheap deals they have on there! Lots of name brand items for cheap.

Thank you so much for you lovely comment 😊 it was 14 years ago this programme and I was young and immature! I’ve learnt from my mistakes, paid off my debts (no help to the show as they offered no support afterwards) and have a beautiful family and home of my own now! We all do things when we are younger that we are not proud of but I’ve learnt by my mistakes and grown stronger from them 🥰 (including the fashion and eyebrow mistakes that have been commented on a lot on here! 😂) xx

In US money it would equivilate 33,845.50.

Is that a good salary in your opinion

chloe hayward USA salary or Uk wise???

chloe hayward ^^ agreed, although this was filmed maybe 15 years ago so it might not have been that far under the average in her time

I need one to sort through my bookshelves 🤣

Me, too! Once I saw the Adele's Boutique and The Parcels parts... It reminded me so much about the Marie Kondo method. We just hope the best for her and her parents.

If u read through the comments she has written a whole post on the show and since

She got out of debt in a few years. Thats something i would like to learn about.

Then you're not a shopaholic. You spend responsibly

I am the same. Definitely shopahilic but not willing to sacrifice my financial stability over it. I too try to buy the best quality I can afford and build a timeless wardrobe. Unfortunately I do shop because of depression and anxiety.

Such a sad brag

@@alias201 Not true. Just because you can afford spending, doesn’t mean you aren’t a spendaholic or that you’re buying stuff you don’t really need.

It looks like a very small legal office.

it was at least 10 years ago

Yeah I was going to say I earn more in hospitality

That was early 2000's fashion. Pretty shit.

It went to eBay, I’m pretty sure she bought a lot of fake stuff lol

because its not actual need for fashion... the spending is a symptom from a bigger problem. its not that she needs to look pretty or rich, but she needs to *spend*, probably get some kind of high or adrenaline rush from it. so the clothes she buys really doesnt matter. she couldve been addicted to shopping for food or cars and its still addiction.

@@rrestoeboemi Dopamin rush. Most addictions are learned behaviours. Alcohol and drugs are worse. Destroys your health and family and social life.

so are you. how about we get drunk off incredible hulks and Tokyo tea and make love in person and not over a webcam..

Lee Qualmann love that. If you are willing to dig and check places often you can find some real gems! I once got a DVF wrap dress for $2 🙃

@@maggiee639 Thrill of the hunt! 😉

Lee Qualmann ABSOLUTELY!

I cringed when I saw her going to the accountant with her black g string clearly visible above her pants 😯

Now girls wear Bralets and even more revealing clothes .... if anything its less classy. But its ok us blokes cant look even though its ALL on show and we cant miss it

ikr, when they said she lived with her parents I was SHOCKED

Mid 2000s fashion was very ageing 🙈

KCD it’s the tanning beds. They are the worst for ageing

the mom is wondering why her daughter doesn't realize things while she continues to babysit her🤔

that £300 rent really hurt my soul

The rent on my flat is £300 a month 😁

@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 welcome to the £300 club my mortgage is £302 a month so I'm just out haha Keep that flat and be comfy👍

Yes, you are so true

Iworkwithnitwits I mean she should have Atleast some money for recreational shit . 1/3 bills 1/3 savings 1/3 fun

@@Doogie95 not money for fun til the bills are paid in full.

I think it's fine to have non functional clothing as long as it's things that you wear. I like silly clothing sometimes but I'll wear the silly clothing.

@@calmfulspider i get what you mean. having a few of those are fun

Nothing wrong with eBay as along as you aren’t overspending!!

you are too young to remember hahah

Janie Fawn we didn’t have eyebrows back in the 90s did we lol .

I miss the 90's my eyebrows still live there

That was the fashion back then just like it's the slugs now!

She do not know how to

This was at least ten years ago, in the UK the banks were giving you anything.

Donna Reiss why would you need so many clothes? So much waste..

Try Again i wear them all. i have a passion for fashion.

I think there was many many people who have a larger wardrobe than her unless they have a capsule wardrobe

Me too Donna. I have probably got more clothes than her but I shop cleverly on Ebay and op shops. I too have a passion for fashion but I have no debt 😁

And a £3 bottle of wine wow the 00s were amazing time

booze I guess. been there and done that myself.

Up her nose 😂😂

2005

and WOW.... all that cheap wine.... who about those livers.... how about that life force... how about it... really... really

He’s also to blame

Yikes :/

Well if her credit cards stolen just let her deal with the situation, don't send money out to her. Adults have to learn to deal with the consequences.

@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 having something stolen from her isn't her fault

@@seithroil yes it is.
