The Briefcase will premiere this week May 27, 2015. The Briefcase, features hard-working American families experiencing financial setbacks and are presented with a briefcase containing a large sum of money and a potentially life-altering decision: they can keep all of the money for themselves, or give all or part of it to another family in need.

Each week, two families have 72 hours to learn details about each other’s challenging circumstances and make the weighty decision of what to do with $101,000. However, what they don’t know is that the family with whom they are considering sharing this financial windfall received an identical briefcase with the same instructions. Throughout their journeys, relationships within both families will be tested and beliefs questioned as they find out what really matters most in their lives, and how much importance they place on values such as love, generosity, compassion and faith.

I love the idea of this show and was in tears at the thought of families being so generous. We have always struggled financially, with my husband being in school the last 9 years and having 3 kids. If I were to be on the show, it would be a struggle but of course I would donate the half the money to another family. After all when you help others, you are helping yourself.

You can watch the Briefcase on CBS this Wednesday May 27, 2015.
