New Reality Show Offers A ‘Money Makeover’

Washington-area residents looking for a financial break may qualify for a “Money Makeover.”

Families are being sought to participate in the new reality show “Money Makeover,” which aims to help transform a family’s home and cash flow in 30 days. The show will air on the Discovery Channel.

Washington-area families that earn from $50,000 to $120,000 and have at least one older teenager living at home — and who have a financial dream that’s just out of reach — may qualify.

Those interested in participating should call (202) 454-4294 or e-mail olijones@leopardfilms.com.
