- Favel and Twain were broken emotionally and financially before they met, those problems largely from mistakes from previous relationships. Favel has two adolescent children from a past relationship, where the father was not in their lives. As such, Favel had to manage on her own, with no outside support. She contemplated giving the children up for them to have a better life than what she could provide. Twain divorced three years ago from his first wife. To get out of the bad situation, he, as part of the divorce settlement, decided to assume the debt they accrued as a couple. Favel and Twain met on the job - she a transit operator, he a transit supervisor - and are now married with a newborn (with Favel currently on maternity leave). They live in Favel's cramped apartment, although they dream of one day owning a house. Twain would also like to adopt Favel's two children. Despite the marriage having solved many of their emotional needs, it has not solved their financial problems - $37,000 in combined debt - which they have decided to keep as "his" and "hers" so as not to bring their past baggage into their marriage. They believe they are not spending frivolously, although Gail does show them that they are spending far above their means in cash - to where none of the three can say - with little in terms of material possessions to show for it. Gail wants them first and foremost to address their credit issue, as having a healthy credit rating is the only way they can achieve their longer term dream of home ownership. She also wants them to work as a couple and not individuals in dealing with their finances, which also includes teaching their children how to manage an allowance. But she also wants them to inject some husband and wife time into their lives, which will require Favel to get over the apprehension she has of leaving the kids with sitters.
- Andrea and Curtis, both twenty-eight and each who earns a modest $38,000 per annum income, have lived together for three years in a rented apartment, but they are not yet engaged as Curtis would like their $31,000 combined consumer debt gone before they make the commitment of marriage. Although they both have contributed to the creation of that debt, Curtis largely blames Andrea and her horse, Stink, who she has owned for fourteen years, as the cause of most of that debt. In reality, approximately eighty-five percent of Andrea's $20,000 debt is from student loans. Andrea, in turn, doesn't save to contribute to that debt as she figures that there is no point in doing so if Curtis won't save either, he spending his money on his sports toys or at the bar. Andrea admits she wants to get married to Curtis, but not with Curtis always lording Stink over her head as the cause of their money problems. Gail has to get this couple truly to act like a couple, and for them to get a true perspective on what is now largely the separate lives they are leading, Andrea always at the barn with aging Stink, and Curtis out playing sports or drinking at the bar when he's not at home watching the sports channel.
- Josh calls in Gail to deal with his wife, Kat, with who he is constantly arguing over her spending. The only thing Josh and Kat both seem to agree on with regard to their financial situation is that Kat should be a stay-at-home mom, their son now an infant, and that she should never have to return to work. She works part-time as a dog walker, bringing in $8,000 per annum, which is her spending money. Confronted, Kat does recognize that she is a money moron, she who made some effort in consolidating debt to get it to a manageable level only to get another credit source to increase that debt. She also spends primarily and impulsively on things for their son, he now having outgrown many of those clothes and toys. As such, Gail would like Kat to organize a toy/clothes swap with other parents not only to get those things she needs for him, but to declutter their house of the things he no longer needs which are of value to others. However, in reviewing this situation, Gail finds that Josh is a large part of the problem in their household. He works freelance as a massage therapist and running coach, his on average 28 hours of work per week bringing in an annual income of $32,000. He enjoys this somewhat carefree work life, and is resistant either to make a concerted effort to work more - new clients which he only gets on referrals from existing clients - or find other sources of income to support the family. He also spends more time looking after their dogs (4 hours per day of dedicated time) than he does with their son (2 hours per day of dedicated time), the latter he sees as Kat's responsibility. He defends his free time as needing to keep in shape/train to maintain his ability to do his work, and in being a responsible dog owner. Josh pays the rent, but Kat looks after everything else financially for the household. With their arguments about finances, Josh sees it as a necessity as he believes Kat doesn't listen to him when he speaks calmly, while Josh walks away whenever Kat argues back. They both see the current situation as being unsustainable, their marriage on the breaking point if something doesn't change.
