With an income of 57,000 euros per month, the Adema family is well off. Thursday night’s episode shows Wesley taking his son – and a $20,000 watch on his wrist – to a gathering at the super-deluxe lifestyle club of which he is a member. They race towards it in their fast sports car. Moments later, Wesley can be seen getting bad news, so that he even decides to use a lawyer.
The buyer of his vacant hotel building has failed and so 1.6 million euros are drilled through Wesley’s nose. “I have also made other agreements, other deals, other purchases that are now stagnating, which may get me fines or misery.” A large part of Wesley’s income is lost with this. “Normally, a little less than 10,000 euros per month came in. That is not coming in now, because everything has been cancelled. So I am certainly missing money now, of course. (…) I am not doing well. I am one little bit of how things are now.”
Because of this stress, Wesley sometimes finds it difficult to maintain his millionaire life. “At times like this you think: everything can get messed up, I don’t think it’s worth anything, I don’t like it anymore. But that’s nonsense, of course, because when everything is over, we look forward to the next thing. project. But at such a moment you think: I’ll stop, sell everything, we have enough euros. But that’s in the short term because you’re angry, disappointed or maybe even sad. So then it’s time to pick yourself up and accelerate .
The contrasts between the families are great What are they doing?. For example, Quincy and Thura, who together raise nine children with a combined monthly salary of 3,650 euros net, are struggling with hefty debts. They themselves are shocked when they list all outstanding amounts with collection agencies: 12,000 euros. They decide to sound the alarm and enlist the help of a budget coach.
“It’s annoying, but I think it’s important that you put that pride aside, because you only get deeper, deeper, deeper into the shit because you think: no, I’ll do it all myself,” says Thura. “But it doesn’t work and if it doesn’t work you just need help and you just have to put your pride aside. There are worse things in the world, I think.”
In any case, what the couple does not seem to want to compromise on is their beloved sneaker collection. The cheapest pair of these is 120 euros, Quincy confesses. The clothing of their nine children must also meet a certain quality standard. Cheap clothes can no longer be beautiful after ‘washing three times’, Thura explains. “Ultimately you lose as much as you get a bit better quality from a slightly more expensive store.” Quincy adds: “You don’t want them to be bullied at school either.”
What are they doing? can be seen every Thursday around 9.30 pm on NPO 1 and you can look back here.
