RTÉ is looking for people for a show about how to be better with money

Rory Cashin

That’ll be most of our friends, family, and acquaintances.

In this day and age, we’re told by those in positions of power that the reason why don’t have our own homes already is because we’re spending all of our money on avocado toast and specially flavored gin and tonics.

Nothing at all to do with the fact that Dublin – and, by extension, the rest of Ireland – is now officially one of the most expensive places in the world to live? Nah, couldn’t be that. Must be the avocado thing.

So with that in mind, RTÉ is looking for participants for its new show How To Be Good With Money.

The title probably gives the game away, but if you are one of those people who just can’t seem to save enough, or are struggling month on month to pay the rent and the bills, or just generally find yourself with more going out than coming in, then the producers of this new show are looking for you.

RTÉ say that “Across the series, financial planner Eoin McGee will meet six very different households – a mix of families in financial trouble, or those facing a big upcoming spend – a much-needed renovation, a wedding, a house or a dream holiday.

“He’ll find out about the household’s financial issues and observe their current behaviours, spending and circumstance. Eoin will do a full financial audit and present the household with a clear strategy to achieve their goal. Over the next few months he will follow the ups and downs as the household attempts to implement the plan.”

So if this sounds like something you or someone you know could do with, then all you need to do is email money@indiepics.ie or call 01 708 8191.
