Admittedly, I am always behind the times when it comes to knowing what is the coolest new thing on TV. I ran across information online about how to apply to be part of season 2 of Big Spender, a show on A&E that tackles people's financial issues.
The show's host, Larry Winget –' New York Times Bestseller and the self proclaimed “Pitbull of Personal Development” –confronts people head on about their spending and shopping problems and then puts them on a budget to help get their lives back on track.
Every Saturday at 6:30PM/5:30C Larry ambushes our BIG SPENDER, catching them in the act. And once he does, everything is fair game – from digging through their closets to unearth 40 or 50 pairs of new shoes, to letting a spouse know that their partner has secretly taken out a loan for $50,000.'
Gotta love a guy, on our financial blogs, who is quoted as saying this:
"You can't drive that Louis Vuitton bag to the grocery store." - Larry Winget
Anybody seen the show? Thoughts?

I am a huge fan of Big Spender. In this second season, Larry really lets them have it. He is harsh and the people cry, but honestly, if you have spent $600,000 on clothes and shoes (400 pairs) and purses and don't pay your rent, you need a harsh wake up call. I have been watching from the start... wish A&E would put it back in it's old time slot though. Now it is on Saturday mornings. I also just saw that A&E has an Ask Larry thing on its' A&E Insider newsletter. And as a subscriber to Larry's website, I see that he is going to be featured on CNBC next month.

I was watching some of the clips of Larry- he does tell it like it is- like you said, if people are being that irresponsible with their money, nicey-nice probably doesn't help them!
