Would love to hear about families on SNAP, WIC, Tanif. People struggling to make it. I feel like the cast is upper middle class leaning and leaving out a huge percentage. Instead of professors how about moms struggling with work, kids and finishing a degree.

I love this show and the variety of lives it follows. I’ve taken away that no two people are alike when it comes to money. It has helped me embrace my own values and unique financial considerations. It also adds such an interesting perspectives on the economic diversity of America and its workforce.

Overall I like the show and glimpses into the spending and finances of various people. The host/narrator has cringe worthy vocal fry though.
