There are many newlyweds out there that don’t start off their marriage with a bank account full of money. In fact many newlyweds are broke and looking for ways to save money and make extra money to pay the bills. There are also many couples that are not newlyweds that struggle week to week or even day to day, finding ways to cut back on costs just to survive.
A financially challenged, newlywed couple come up with hilarious ways to make or save money!
There is a new web series in the works that puts a modern day twist on “I Love Lucy”. The new web series “Newlywed and Broke” pulls back the curtain on a couple dealing with job loss and financial hardship whereas “I Love Lucy” pulled back the curtain on a couple dealing with life in show business.
I am no longer a newlywed, but I am one that is always trying to find ways to save money. I watch “Extreme Couponing” on TV on the TLC network. I have also watched many videos online about clipping coupons and other ways to save money here and there.
So back to the new web series “Newlywed and Broke“. This new series is currently a project on the indiegogo website and they need donations to make this new series a success. As of writing this post, they have 22 days left of their campaign and have raised $11,167 out of their $25,000 goal.

This goal of this campaign on Indiegogo is to produce a TV quality web series that will air on the Newlywed and Broke website first.

I have watched a few of their video clips online and it is funny. I really hope they make their goal and can produce the series. I like it when the under dog wins.
This is the first I’ve heard about the show. What a completely interesting concept. Rooting for them!
It is sad that people go into debt over one day of their lives. When I got married to my husband, we planned our wedding on a very modest budget. It was a beautiful wedding and didn’t break the bank.
Rooting for the underdog here too! They are sooo funny!
I have never heard of this before sounds very interesting.
I want to see this show. It sounds like a fun one to watch. It’s funny to remember when my hubby and I first moved in together – we were in college and didn’t have a ton of money.
This is the first I have heard about the show. I remember being a broke newlywed.
Looks like a interesting show!!
hahah this is funny, I can’t wait to see it.. sure looks entertaining….
How cool! I know we started out pretty poor and still struggle from time to time. I’ll be rooting for them!
