So many programmes on tv about spending money like house programmes, yet hardly any about Saving money

Don't get me started about the entitled arrogant so and so's who go on A Place in the Sun or Location (x3) and fail to find their unicorn despite having a seven figure budget. Angry

I know, I often think where do these idiots get all this money
I guess a lot of them inherit

You watch a house programme it’s already a 750k house and they spend 200k on a new kitchen extension etc

Then skim over how that added debt affects their lifestyle

I like the way they spend way over their budget for the home improvements 'We had a budget of around £100k but we ended up spending £140k so we think we've done fairly well...'

Really? Where did they get the rest of the money?

I don’t watch these shows but straight away I can think of the martin Lewis one, the save money while eating better one, the shopping saving one. There was a slot on this morning a few weeks ago where a woman was talking about checking prices per unit of an item rather than total price for value.

Wow, a lot of these "idiots" warn that money by working hard. And if they can afford an expensive house why not get it?? Green eyes

On YouTube you can watch episodes of Til Debt Do Us Part. It's a Canadian show and quite informative.
