Meet the Bradleys
The Oprah Winfrey Show  |  January 01, 2006
Lisa says her spending is out of control.


Lisa Bradley admits her spending is out of control. At the time the couple purchased their new home, Lisa says, "Steve even told me we couldn't afford it, but I wanted it." Lisa admits to maxing out all her credit cards and not being able to make the payments. In one month, her cell phone bill was a whopping $398.84. In order to purchase her pricey new truck, Lisa admits she forged her husband's signature. Now, she has $1,100 in car payments every month.

Eating out is another big expense for the Bradleys. Lisa says she doesn't cook—instead, they spend about $100 a day on takeout. And because Lisa doesn't like to do dishes, the family uses only plastic dishes and utensils—another expense that can really add up.
