Gotta love our neighbors to the North. Who else would come up with such a great show? I was in Toronto about a month ago and became a little obsessed with ‘Til Debt Do Us Part. I think we may have watched 3 or 4 episodes in the two days we were there… The show is a reality TV show that takes couples deeply in debt and helps them create a budget. It’s that simple. Yet it was highly entertaining. Hopefully a similar show will start in the US one of these days.

Besides just being an entertaining show, they also have some great articles on the network’s website including
