Debt reduction has joined the reality TV band wagon with the Arts & Entertainment (A&E) network introducing a new show called Big Spender. The show is on Sunday evenings at 5:30pm EST and looks at the finances of real people who are heavily in debt. Personal finance expert Larry Winget then tells the people in debt what they have to do to get out of it.




While the focus is on debt reduction, the families in the first 2 episodes were so far in debt that their situations don't apply to the average person looking to get debt reduction advice. For example, the last episode featured
a couple "over $400,000 in debt and on the path to bankruptcy." Next week's episode seems to continue along the same path where a woman "has racked up over 50 credit cards and almost $94,000 worth of debt."

If you are free on a Sunday afternoon, it's worth checking out for the entertainment value although it won't be a must weekly see show for me.
