- Lori and Greg have had two babies very close together. When their first child was born, they weren't prepared for the hit Lori's maternity leave would have on their income. Now Baby #2 has left them financially breathless. Greg can't understand why they're in debt and blames Lori. With a newborn and toddler at home, a fresh start is critical. That's where Gail comes in...—Frantic Films
- Lori and Greg had two children back to back, Lori currently starting the second of the maternity leaves. Their reduced income from Lori's maternity benefits and the extra costs of the children are two of the reasons they have $55,000 of consumer debt. But there is much resentment and blame creeping into their marriage. They have split the household duties in what they consider a fifty/fifty division, the household finances solely on Lori's shoulders. Because the household money is solely Lori's responsibility, Greg believes Lori overspends on unnecessary stuff, and thus mismanages their money. He knows they are in debt, which scares him, but he knows nothing beyond that. He believes he is doing his part in measures such as brown bag lunches, but he does not get involved in the money management holistically. Lori wants Greg involved, so that she does not feel the entire burden of this problem on her own. Lori feels both frustrated and resentful. In reviewing the numbers, Gail finds that Greg is not as blameless in racking up their debt as he and probably Lori believes he is. Gail wants them to: work on their finances together, which includes planning for costs for their children; evaluate if it makes sense for Lori to return to work earlier than she had planned; and spend time to communicate openly and honestly with each other, not only about money but about their lives in general, but still inject that romance that their young marriage needs.—Huggo
