He tells us the family income every episode, but always forgets to mention whether it’s brut or net…

  1. Netto. Bruto means nothing and is different for every family situation. I just watched this episode. I don’t understand how you can struggle financially with €7k/month. They’re so dumb with money… with €7k I’d pay €2.500 for the house, elec, gas,… Invest €1.500. Then you still have €3.000 for food, hobby’s, vacation,…

    I’ve stopped watching after 3 episodes. Its everytime the same. Too expensive house with a too expensive car, which takes all the budget for everything else. And then they’re going to try to save with the little pieces left.

    And how do they earn so much? What are their jobs? They look pretty young to earn so much money?

  4. I feel insulted when people with that amount of income can’t seem to make ends meet. Jesus.

    So she got a burnout from being a kindergarten teacher and not from running around those kids to their 25 hobbies? And you can stay at home 2 years for that? Belgium! What a country!

  6. De tering naar de nering zetten, dat doen veel gezinnen te weinig denk ik, incluis wijzelf

  7. Dit programma heeft potentieel, maar het is jammer dat bijna iedere aflevering gaat over middenklassers die zeker genoeg verdienen om rond te kunnen komen, maar gewoon teveel uitgeven aan luxe. Meestal hebben ze dan nog een doel als “een nieuwe tuin zetten” of dergelijke.

    Het is makkelijk om tips te geven aan een koppel dat bijvoorbeeld 3x per week take-away koopt, twee dure koersfietsen op zolder heeft staan en om de week naar de kapper gaat, maar ik zou het interessanter vinden om te zien hoe ze het zouden doen bij meer precaire situaties.

  8. Few episodes ago they had a couple where the guy worked two jobs. She spends over 1000€ a month on going out to dinner with friends, having coffee with friends, beauty salon,… You get the picture. All while they also spend a few 100€ a month on takeaway.

    I felt so bad for the guy, he worked his ass off and when he got home there was not even a meal prepared and on the table.
    They had no kids so my immediate reaction was: what the fuck is she doing with her free time?

    My gf would just kick me out if I was doing what she was doing. And rightfully so.

    Me and my wife have a combined income of +- 8500 euro (net). We have many friends who earn the same and know some struggle. Many people can simply not handle money well. Give them 2k a month , they struggle. Give them 4k a month , they still struggle.

    Many people spend more when they earn more. We live fairly royal and use 5k /month (avg) and save 3.5k without any issues.

    Disappointing that cutting out 1 of their 3 kids wasn’t put on the table as an expense saving mechanism.
