I wish there were more shows like this on tv, shows the reality behind closed doors of people who often display outward signs of wealth and success, but are in debt up to their eyeballs to get it. Families, like businesses, can't succeed long-term on lies. Mr. Antonio forces them to face the truth and gives them an action plan for true financial success! My only suggestion would be to follow up further down the road (one year or more) to see if they were able to keep it up.

The only reality show on TV that is dedicated to helping families who are struggling financially. Many of the families I work with are struggling and living paycheck to paycheck. My job is to come into their lives and figure out what they're doing wrong, but more importantly, why. The first step is to assess their current financial situation and find out how it happened; how did they get into so much debt. The second step is to put them through an assessment so I can evaluate how they work together and how they manage their time. Lastly, I restructure the family to run like a business given each person specific roles. I then return in 90 days to see how they've done.
