Premiering last January, Million Dollar Neighbourhood quickly became a fan favorite with our OWN neighbors in Canada.  With a second season already commissioned, OWN decided to share the show with OWN viewers in the States.  

Million Dollar Neighbourhood is not your average reality show!  In fact, the show participants all take part in a social economic experiment…we know, we mentioned the cold word of economics, don’t lose us.  The show challenged families living in this small town of Aldergrove, Canada, to increase their collective net worth by $1 million in just 10 weeks.  However, they didn’t do it alone.

A financial team gave families a challenge each week to help them increase their income, reduce their debts and overall improve their financial standing. Not only did they receive the tips they need to be successful, they also were given opportunities to win money.  Now that the show is coming to the US,  viewers will be able to watch and learn…possibly changing our own lives.

This concept is unique and if done right, it could educate us all on small and big changes we can make to create a stronger financial foundation for our own families.  We only hope that it translates to big ratings for OWN and just maybe Oprah will bring it to our town! As of yet there is no premiere date, but we imagine that it shouldn’t take long since the show has already been airing in Canada for months. As soon as we hear anything we will let you know!
