For many men, their masculinity is tied to their ability to provide for their spouses and family. And in today's world, that often equates to making lots of money. Now I can't speak for every woman out there, but for me it's not about how much money a man makes, it's more about how he manages it. In relationships when couples argue about money, it's usually not about how much of it there is, but more about how it's being spent.
So when a friend of mine told me about a show--a reality show in Canada--that helps couples manage their finances and get out of debt, I was all over it! And then when I found out the host, Gail Vaz-Oxdale, is Jamaican, that sealed the deal. I couldn't believe some of the episodes: couples with $70k, $80k in debt and still spending. There was one episode where the couple had been paying off a $1,500 payday advance for years! Yikes.
And I just found out that the show is coming to CNBC; in fact I think one episode has already aired. I've got my TVR set!
