Kids who define success in dollars, happiness by what they drive, and popularity by what they wear are showing symptoms of a disease experts call Affluenza. This eye-opening program features positive examples of spoiled kids who turned their lives around when they learned the difference between what they need and what they want. Heidi's one goal was to buy the things she thought would make her popular, until she was sent to live with her mother's poor family on their ranch in Mexico. Two wealthy brothers lived like the homeless for five days as part of a school experiment. All learned to appreciate what they have by experiencing what others do not, and they gained a more mature understanding of the value of money.
