Seriously, why isn't there an IF Reality Show?

...because the reality of this BITES.Way more than needing, say, a new granite counter top or a backyard makeover. Turn on any HGTV episode and watch couples, rich, poor, straight or gay, married or single , get some high priced designer to come in to do a makeover of their home to sell it or just live in the lap of luxury.....Now, if you know me IRL, you know that I would LOVE to have a designer work with me and make over my home, as my poor DH and I are TIRED of reno projects in our money pit, I mean our home.....but what is the sense of having a lovely, heavily mortgaged home on an acre of land, if you have no one to share it with you. Why live in a Lake community, if you don't have kids to take to the lake. You see where I am going with this, right?
All over our TV sets each day and night, people are getting free stuff, material things that don't mean anything in the end....and we can't get a LOAN ( which we can pay back over a few years) TO HAVE A FAMILY. My employer caps off my IF coverage at $10,000 and BAM......GAME over.
