I like this show but there was one scene that was absolutely absurd. Basically one of the dumb in debt guys was talking about wanting to have a baby and the lady was like "Yeah -- let's go see how much that would cost". They went to some high end boutique and picked out all brand new stuff -- crib, stroller, car seat, clothes, bottles, food, everything brand new at the highest price point. Rang in at like way over three grand and the guy was devastated.
Good grief, my wife and I are having our first in 6 weeks (or so) and haven't even spent ten percent of that, and we're basically ready to go. The amount of bargain bin/free second hand stuff there is in the world of baby things is enormous.
