Money morons are a leading cause of ruined relationships. As such, financial advisor Gail Vaz-Oxlade, in an amalgam of what she did for couples of various stripes in Til Debt Do U$ Part (2005) and for divas and divos in Prince$$ (2010), undertakes an intervention on behalf one of half of a couple who believes the other half of that couple is leading them into financial ruin which may in turn result in the imminent break-up of the relationship. Gail reviews the money management within the household to see what needs to be done to fix the financial problem. Beyond the keeping of a financial diary, Gail issues a series of tasks, which, depending upon their completion to Gail's satisfaction, will lead to Gail giving them up to $10,000 to help them get back on their financial way at the end of her time with them. However, Gail often finds that the story is not as lopsided as it is initially presented to be to her by the intervening one of the couple, that person who is often as much at fault if not more so in the financial problems.
