concept
In each episode, a case is described in which an individual or group of people is overwhelmed with their financial situation. At the beginning there is a list of income and expenses in order to determine whether those affected are able to meet their payment obligations or whether those involved are living beyond their means. In the course of each episode, Zwegat shows ways to save and solutions. In doing so, he often has to do a lot of persuading, because his suggestions are often associated with deep cuts in lifestyle and environment. While the over-indebted protagonists try to implement Zwegat's advice, he talks to the creditors or possible financiers in order to find a way out of the situation. He tries to get unemployed people back into work. In his work he is always dependent on the trustworthy cooperation of those affected. At the end of the episode, income and expenses are compared again and the effect of his measures becomes visible. After his work, those involved are often able to pay off the debts themselves or with the help of consumer bankruptcy.
