Anyone else watching this right now? I watched the marathon today. Pretty interesting show. I like seeing the change in everyone from the early episodes on through the newest.

I watched the marathon yesterday also. I think the kids have done really good changing their priorities and that their parents should be very proud of them. Although I don't think buying a house would be a good thing for them right now. They should give it some time. Thats just my opinion.

I went through a phase of hating the dad, then I hated the mom, then I hated the oldest sister (brunette)... then I quit watching and my blood pressure went down Did they have a second season? I may have watched all but the last episode of the first one. I did love the episode where they met with the financial planner, especially when he pointed out that they had borrowed money from their CHILDREN they had yet to repay, and Mom was drinking Starbucks on a daily basis...

They 2nd season just started last night. I missed that episode (baby girl had enough of watching it I guess). But it was really fun to watch the marathon. I bet I would have been mad at people too if I had a week between episodes, but watching them all in a row was fun to see how much they changed from one episode to the next. By the time this season started, they had paid down their debts & got money back into savings (granted, that was with the money they earned from the show, but still). I would agree, buying a house is not a good idea. Another rental, or finding somewhere else for all those cars would be a good idea. The 15-yr old can't even drive yet - just park his car at his mom's house for now. Definitely not a good enough reason to buy a house.

I watched the new episode last night. I just don't get the dad. He is trying to start up a new business. Why doesn't he just go get a job for now. He hasn't had stable employment since the show aired. While all his kids work and his wife has two jobs (she is waitressing after her day job).

Stand back. I have a budget, and I know how to use it.
