Their financial problems started when they bought their house out in the country. Even with that extra debt load, they did not cut back in spending in other areas of their life, most specifically Fiona's habit of shopping online, and Alister sinking money into his many trucks, one, his favorite, which now largely sits idle since it's a gas guzzler and he can't afford the fuel required to drive it. Those money issues are compounded by the fact that they have separate bank accounts so that each, especially Alister, would have a sense of financial independence, but which instead has led to indiscriminate spending. On top of it all, Fiona is five months pregnant with their first child, a child which they don't know how they will be able to afford. Gail wants them to focus as a couple on the upcoming baby to make them change their priorities away from their other areas of unnecessary spending, such as Fiona's want for more lingerie, or Alister's fancy red truck which acts now more as a lawn ornament than a useful part of their transportation.
