Transcript

00:00When it comes to money, Britain is a divided nation.

00:05The gap between rich and poor has grown by a third in the last decade

00:10and continues to widen.

00:12But how much difference does money make?

00:15Two families from opposite sides of the wealth gap

00:18are about to find out.

00:20Natalie is mum to two-year-old daughter Ava.

00:24I don't have a lot of money,

00:26so my budget monthly is very, very tight.

00:29To provide more for Ava,

00:31Natalie wants to break into the beauty business.

00:34This genuinely is my dream career.

00:38The Sings run a thriving cosmetics clinic

00:41that's taken a close partnership to build up.

00:44I always thought, I don't want to work with my husband,

00:47but in the end, that's exactly what I'm doing.

00:50For one week...

00:52THEY GASP

00:53..they're swapping homes...

00:54Why are you crying? It's just so nice, innit?

00:56..budgets...

00:57Shall we get it all out, Amrit?

00:59I've never ever seen this much money in cash or in a bank account.

01:02Ever. ..and lives.

01:04What do you think?

01:05..to discover if money really does buy happiness.

01:09We're £66 overspent. We've only got 20 quid.

01:18In a quiet suburb of Middlesbrough,

01:20a million-pound house is home to Dr Rajpal Singh and his wife, Kiran.

01:25We have six bedrooms and... Seven.

01:28We've gone from six to seven cos it was a walking wall.

01:31I know. How many bathrooms?

01:33The house has been expensively redesigned just to suit their tastes.

01:37One of the biggest things that I really wanted to incorporate

01:41was the bench that we have here.

01:43So the curved bench was specially designed for us.

01:47There's lots of space for them and their children,

01:50three girls and a baby boy.

01:53Rajpal is founder of the upmarket DRS clinic

01:57offering high-tech facials and non-surgical treatments

02:01like facelifts, nose reshaping and collagen stimulation.

02:05Sharp scrunch.

02:07He's worked hard since qualifying as a GP.

02:10When doing aesthetic procedures, there's no room for mistakes.

02:14So people come to us because they trust us with their face.

02:17I thrive on high pressure... Yes. ..generally,

02:21because I do a lot of high-pressure situations,

02:24so I do thrive on that.

02:26The key to Rajpal's success is his working relationship with Kiran,

02:30who's the clinic's administrator.

02:32Most of the time I'm listening to Rajpal.

02:35Rajpal does all the talking.

02:38But, yes, it's been an amazing journey to grow the business together.

02:42Wow. Lovely.

02:44But wealth hasn't come easy.

02:47Both came from migrant families experiencing a good deal of racism.

02:52Even now, it's not easy to talk about.

02:55Our parents had come from India. We didn't have the nice things.

02:59And that would mean that we'd be picked on at school.

03:02We were taught by our parents to stand up for ourselves,

03:05to believe in ourselves.

03:07I had a very similar background to Rajpal and we had a lot of racism.

03:11My parents owned a corner shop

03:13to the point where we were attacked, even in the shop.

03:17Parents and the police were always involved.

03:20It was very much a common scene.

03:22Going through what we went through, it definitely made us stronger.

03:27When you reflect and you have children,

03:30you kind of think, gosh, if they had to go through that,

03:33it's not very nice.

03:36For the week of the swap,

03:38they'll be taking twins Anisha and Amara and their sister Amrin

03:42while baby Zorava stays with family.

03:45The twins are confident they have what it takes

03:48to thrive in the face of adversity.

03:50They already have their own business.

03:53The product that we sell are jeans.

03:55So these are some of the pairs.

03:58We put stars on them and then they all go on different types of jeans

04:02that we design and we create ourselves and we really enjoy doing that.

04:06We work well together.

04:08Amara's good at marketing, designing

04:10and then I'm good at selling.

04:12But Kieran wants the girls to learn from their week without wealth.

04:16We're hoping that the children will really have an understanding

04:19of the environment that we grew up in.

04:22You pop your stuff on that side and you should pop her stuff on this side.

04:26Hopefully they'll understand how privileged they are

04:30and really value what we do have.

04:34Less than an hour's drive away in County Durham,

04:38near the town of Gateshead,

04:40is the home of single mum Natalie and two-year-old Ava.

04:45Ava is genuinely the best thing that's ever, ever happened to me.

04:49I couldn't imagine life without Ava.

04:52Just like Ava, Natalie was raised by a single mum with little money,

04:57but she learned to get by.

04:59We didn't have much when I was growing up.

05:02My mum didn't have the best job.

05:05Our family kind of just stuck together and helped each other.

05:08So we didn't have a lot, but we had everything we needed together.

05:16Home is a two-bedroom rental.

05:18After all the bills are paid, they have just £60 to live on,

05:22most of which goes on food.

05:25There has been times where I have literally had nothing

05:28and I haven't been able to cover priority bills.

05:32Natalie has a big plan to get out of poverty.

05:35As well as working part-time in a petrol station,

05:38she's also trying to build her own nail business,

05:41but it's far from easy.

05:43I took out a business start-up loan to get the courses that I needed

05:48and some of the products that I needed to start up.

05:51It's so expensive.

05:53In addition to the expense of setting up,

05:56Natalie feels one other thing is holding her back.

05:59I think I do lack in confidence in the beauty business

06:04because there are so many other people around me

06:07who already have built up a big client base,

06:11but I would love to grow my confidence

06:14and have the same size client base as everyone else.

06:18Best friend Callum will be joining Natalie and Ava on the swap.

06:22He's seen her struggles with confidence and direction.

06:26She just needs someone to sort of give her the push

06:30to say, you're doing really well, essentially keep it up,

06:34yeah, look how well you've done so far, look how far you've got.

06:37Wow!

06:39This week could be the inspiration Natalie's been waiting for,

06:43to create a thriving business

06:45and a new life for herself and Ava.

06:48By doing this, I would really love to see

06:52how the other family have got to where they are now.

06:56Do you want to try?

06:58But Natalie's also aware she may not be the only one who needs educating.

07:03I would love for a family who do have more money

07:07to be able to see just how hard it can be

07:10being a young mum with a lot on, on a very tight budget.

07:14Look at your face!

07:16Look back!

07:18I have no idea what to expect out of the other family's house.

07:22I am hoping that it's going to be just as homely as it is in my house.

07:26The reds are gone.

07:28Oh, well, what are you going to do now?

07:30Let's get some more.

07:32It's day one and anticipation for the swap is building.

07:37One bag done, four to go.

07:44Despite a chilly start to the day, everyone is keen to get on the road.

07:49It's a quick ride, but while their properties are only 40 minutes away,

07:53in reality, they're worlds apart.

07:56I'm excited. Yeah.

07:58I'm very excited, but I'm nervous.

08:01Ready? One, two, three.

08:03Oh, my goodness.

08:05It's huge!

08:08Are you excited? This is home for the next week.

08:11Oh, my God, it is massive!

08:14It's really nice.

08:16Time for them all to work out who their mystery hosts are.

08:20Right, guys.

08:21So we can see mum and her little girl.

08:24Looks like quite a young child, doesn't it?

08:26That's her six days old.

08:28What a beautiful, beautiful picture.

08:31Hi, welcome to our home.

08:33Hi, welcome to our home.

08:35We hope you have a lovely time.

08:37Can't wait to meet you, Natalie and Ava.

08:40What a place, that's beautiful.

08:42Oh, my goodness gracious me.

08:45Wow!

08:47Oh, my God!

08:50That's unreal.

08:52Gobsmacked.

08:54And look, they've got a Wendy house like you!

08:56That's a beautiful picture of Natalie and Ava.

09:00Natalie looks really young as well.

09:02Oh, they've got four kids.

09:04Mum, Dad, baby and then three girls.

09:07Yeah.

09:08Rashbal.

09:09Anisha.

09:10Kiran.

09:11Amara.

09:12Amran.

09:13So, girls, what do we have here?

09:15It looks like some beauty things.

09:18She might be a beautician, maybe.

09:20What is in there?

09:21What's in there?

09:22They've got a whole giant playroom!

09:25It's bigger than my living room and kitchen put together.

09:29This looks like the little girl's room.

09:32Aw, she loves bunnies like you as well, Amran.

09:34There's a bunny picture up there.

09:36That's cute.

09:37It looks like Natalie is training,

09:40or has trained in beauty as well.

09:43That's just relatively recently as well.

09:46Ooh, clinical medicine.

09:48Ooh, he's a doctor.

09:50That's cute.

09:51The girls start realising how different life will be.

09:55There's only two bedrooms.

09:57I'll sleep on the block bed.

10:01Oh!

10:02While Natalie is getting a taste of just how privileged

10:05the Singles are, and spies a note they've written to their parents.

10:10It says, to my amazing dad,

10:12because of all of your hard work and dedication,

10:15we've managed to get this far.

10:17I really appreciate everything you do and your commitment.

10:21SHE SNIFFLES

10:23It's such a lovely house, but why are you crying?

10:26Cos it's nice.

10:30They've got everything.

10:31Like, they obviously give their kids everything.

10:36I want to be able to give her a lot and I can't.

10:40The Sings are already looking for ways they can help out.

10:44You know, I can see that.

10:45I can see the front of the shed's been painted,

10:47the side needs to be done.

10:49I can see a little bit of tidying up as well.

10:55The big moment has arrived.

10:57This is too much.

10:58How much will they have to live on?

11:00I've not seen this before.

11:02I've not seen this before.

11:04I've not seen this before.

11:06How much will they have to live on?

11:09I've not seen this much money in my life.

11:11I don't think I've ever seen or touched this much money in my life.

11:1440, 50, 60...

11:19..five...

11:201,000.

11:221.5.

11:23This would pay off nearly all of my debt.

11:29£67.20.

11:32Well done. Well done.

11:33It's crazy to think that we could spend that much in one day

11:36and that's their weekly budget.

11:38That's correct.

11:39So we have to be quite careful about what we're spending.

11:41We do, yes, definitely.

11:44Each family has left an activity board for the week.

11:47Visit Andy and Nan.

11:49Food shop.

11:50Regan.

11:51Family fun.

11:52Clinic.

11:54You all right?

11:55Shopping spree.

11:56Shopping spree.

11:57Yes.

11:58And look, nail it.

11:59So what do you think that's going to be about?

12:01I think maybe her nail business.

12:03Yeah, she could have her own business doing nails.

12:06Temple.

12:07I think the temple is going to be interesting.

12:10And we're going to be visiting Andy and Nan as well.

12:13The body mechanics one.

12:15I don't even know what I think that is.

12:17They'll also record a video diary.

12:21A camera's been set up where privacy is guaranteed.

12:25I don't think I've ever been in a house this big before, to be honest.

12:29I think there was a tiny little bit of shame in there

12:32where I thought, I haven't given over this yet.

12:38A budget of £67.20 was a bit of a shock

12:42because for five people, you know, that's going to be challenging.

12:47It became very apparent that we are really going to struggle.

12:52Coming up, Natalie's confidence is put to the test.

12:57Do you think you could have a go at doing it yourself?

13:00And Rashpal feels the financial squeeze.

13:04We're £0.66 overspent. We've only got £20.

13:21Single mum Natalie, for the first time in her life,

13:24is sizing up a mountain of cash.

13:27This would pay off nearly all of my debt.

13:30While Dr Rashpal is facing the cost of living.

13:34A budget of £67.20, you know, that's going to be challenging.

13:41It's day two.

13:43In Middlesbrough, Kieran's parents have dropped by

13:46to meet the new occupants of their daughter's home.

13:51I'd love to know more about your family and Kieran and Rashpal.

13:54We live in a lovely house now, but we started off in a council house.

13:57Didn't have much at all.

14:07That's what we used to work at.

14:09Just like Rashpal and his siblings,

14:11Kieran and her sisters worked in the family shop.

14:16It seems harsh dragging the kids into the business

14:19and making them work when they were still young.

14:22But it gave them that work ethic.

14:24And they were never forced into anything.

14:26Initially, we did get a lot of abuse, racially.

14:31It wasn't nice for us.

14:33But we even wanted to move the kids out of the school.

14:36It was that bad.

14:37I mean, Kieran gets upset when we talk about it.

14:39The other two do as well.

14:41Yeah.

14:42Because they don't want it to happen again.

14:44I've never experienced that kind of abuse.

14:47They went through that and they still thought,

14:49no, I'm going to go to school, I'm going to do well in school,

14:52I'm going to go home and help in the business.

14:54It's just really inspiring.

14:56If you're determined and, you know, you want to succeed in life...

15:00Yeah.

15:01..it shouldn't be much that will stop you back.

15:05In Gateshead, Kieran has made a shocking discovery.

15:09Natalie has a business loan, furniture and laptop to pay off.

15:13The payments are crippling her.

15:16I mean, there's just shy of £1,300 there,

15:19£800 on that one...

15:22..and £700 there.

15:24Wow.

15:25I mean, there's monthly finance debt of about £120 a month.

15:31Everything's on finance, isn't it?

15:33I've got a laptop as well, so...

15:35Yeah.

15:36And look at the interest rate.

15:38I'm really struggling to see how she is going to achieve her goals

15:43because we understand what she's going through

15:45and we've lived some of it.

15:47I think we really grasp a good understanding of her difficulties

15:51and, therefore, by putting our heads together,

15:55which is how me and Rashpal always work,

15:58hopefully we can come to some solution

16:00and see how we can really help and support Natalie to achieve her goals.

16:04She needs cash flow, she needs some income

16:07to be able to service and clear these debts

16:10because the interest rate is just...

16:12It's mad.

16:16To find out more, Rashpal and Kieran are off to the local park

16:21for a meeting with Natalie's auntie Vicky and her nan, Paula.

16:26Tell us a bit about Natalie.

16:27Natalie is my granddaughter.

16:29She's even my great-granddaughter.

16:31Wow.

16:32She don't look old enough to be a great-granddaughter.

16:34She's always had this lovely soul about her, just, you know,

16:38and she's my oldest granddaughter.

16:41And growing up, yeah, there was hard times for her growing up,

16:45but she just took everything in her stride.

16:48We saw she, back in November last year,

16:50she did some qualifications in nails, brows, tanning as well.

16:54So, do you think that's what her goals are and that's what her passion is?

16:58Yeah, she loves the beauty side of things.

17:00She decided she wanted to go and rent a room

17:02and it didn't work out because, obviously, she was travelling,

17:05she's got Gafer and it was the childcare and everything, you know,

17:09so I came up with a bright idea.

17:11Let's do the shed up.

17:13Ah!

17:15Natalie plans to make her shed into the new premises of her nail business.

17:20I think she's sort of thinking, well, there's my next step.

17:23It needs a new roof.

17:25It's clear that she's got drive and she's got some vision.

17:28Who's there to guide her through things?

17:31Financially, that is not something we can do.

17:34I have my own family. Natalie's mum has other children.

17:37A business in the shed sounds quite exciting

17:40and me and Kieran are quite keen on helping Natalie

17:43to bring that vision to some fruition.

17:50In Middlesbrough, Natalie is about to get a taste

17:53of the cosmetic high life at Rashpal's prestigious clinic.

17:57She's booked in for one of their popular new treatments

18:01from aesthetic therapist Laura.

18:03So if you'd like to just lay flat, lying upwards onto the bed, please.

18:09The Hydrafacial removes dead skin, sucks out impurities

18:13and pumps in nutrients and moisturisers.

18:16At £140 for the hour, it's not something Natalie can usually afford.

18:23So vitamin C will target brightening, pigmentation.

18:27We've got retinol to target ageing and then also we do other boosters.

18:31Feels nice. Perfect.

18:34So how long have you been doing it for?

18:3612 years, I've been doing beauty therapy.

18:39So how does the training work?

18:42Training like this, which is your Hydrafacial,

18:44which is a specific brand,

18:46if you're in an employment, the employment pays for it.

18:50Laura's learned on the job.

18:52If Natalie can conquer her lack of confidence,

18:55it could soon be her turn.

18:57Do you think you could have a go at doing it yourself?

19:02I think so, yeah. You think so? Yeah.

19:04Well, what I'd love for you to do is come back into clinic this week...

19:07Right, OK. ..and trial it with our therapist, Carly.

19:10Right, OK. Are you up for that challenge?

19:12Yeah, definitely. Lovely. Yeah.

19:14Giving a Hydrafacial in this high-end clinic

19:17will give Natalie the chance to really push herself.

19:20I do have confidence, it's just I need to bring it...

19:23It's a little bit harder to bring it out.

19:25I would love to just do something that completely changes that.

19:31In Gateshead, the Sings are off to the shops with a £67.

19:37Can we just get a taxi?

19:39I think that might blow our budget.

19:41But when you live comfortably,

19:43it's easy to forget about the cost of travel.

19:48We need a return to Chesley Street, please. Yeah.

19:51We need the cheapest way, we're on a tight budget.

19:53£15, please. OK, mate, that's lovely. Thank you.

19:57It takes £15 and an hour of their time to reach the market.

20:04Here's the challenge. We've got 20 quid each, all right?

20:08And we need to try and get the most we can for our money.

20:12There's 20 quid for you, Kieran.

20:14I'm having this little one to help us.

20:16We'll take 20 quid as well, girls. Can you hold that?

20:19The challenge is on.

20:21Rashpal and the twins hunt for supermarket specials.

20:25So we need some bread and we need some porridge.

20:29Outside, Kieran and Amrin look for some bargain fruit and veg.

20:35£7.50, do you think we could ask for a little bit of a discount, Amrin?

20:39Do you think you could...? We'll do it for £7.

20:41£7? Thank you very much. Thank you.

20:44Rashpal's keeping a close eye on the money.

20:47Any food that you might have on a reduced section or anything like that,

20:51or anything that might be coming reduced,

20:53because we're on, like, a really tight budget.

20:55What a bargain. 14p each, yeah?

20:57Yeah. And he's shared them to our list.

20:59If you want, we could even make a cake.

21:01It's all going so well, until they get to the checkout.

21:06That is £20.66, Kieran. I'll get it for you.

21:09Sorry, we're actually... We're £0.66 overspent.

21:12We've only got 20 quid.

21:16We're going to have to put them both back.

21:18We're going to have to put them both back. Sorry.

21:21That's your 34p change.

21:23It's a lesson on the challenge of living on a budget,

21:26especially these days.

21:29For me, it really makes me empathise

21:32with how Nat has to consider every single penny carefully

21:37in a world which is only getting more and more expensive.

21:41So we spent £15 of our budget

21:45on just travelling to the local town to do this shopping,

21:50and it's made a massive hole in our budget,

21:52so that's really going to be challenging now.

21:56To be honest, I'm quite shocked that with £7,

21:59all I was able to get was three different vegetables

22:03and one piece of fruit.

22:06Did we bring to light that the budget really isn't enough

22:11for the next four to five days for a family of five?

22:14Hello.

22:19Day three of the swap.

22:21Underlying the Singhs' success is faith

22:23and giving back to the community.

22:25Now Natalie and Callum are stepping into their shoes

22:28and visiting the local gurdwara,

22:30part Sikh temple, part community centre.

22:34The sharing of food, or langar,

22:37is a big part of visiting the gurdwara.

22:40Kieran and Rashpal come regularly to cook or clean up

22:44as an act of humble service to others.

22:47So I definitely got the sense that it wasn't just a religion,

22:51it was more of a family.

22:54After helping with the washing up

22:56and paying their respects in the prayer room,

22:58they catch up with Rashpal's friends Ravi and Gagan.

23:03So this place worships for Sikhs or anyone else,

23:06any other religion, from any background,

23:08you're welcome on a Sunday.

23:10The reason we sit on the floor is everyone's equal

23:12in front of God's eyes.

23:14The beauty of Sikhism is it's the main two pillars,

23:17like foundation is Simran and Seva.

23:19So Simran means chanting your holy rhymes

23:22and Seva is you doing selfless voluntary

23:25for anybody in terms of food,

23:27in terms of cleaning of the gurdwara.

23:29So you can have food with anybody regardless of their religion,

23:33so you're all equal.

23:35So did you meet him and his family through this?

23:38My dad used to work here, he was the main priest,

23:40and that's how we met through Rashpal,

23:42because he used to come in every week here and sing on the stage.

23:45Rashpal and his family have certain roles when they come in,

23:48or do they just do a bit of everything?

23:50They all come in as a family together,

23:52again, helping out where it needs to be,

23:55again, just bringing that humbleness into their personalities.

23:58Their friend said they were very generous and very humble.

24:02They're just like normal down-to-earth people.

24:06Very interesting.

24:07It felt like a big family community in there.

24:10I mean, they all do everything together.

24:12It was lovely, it was really nice.

24:20Back in Gateshead, Natalie's best friend Regan

24:24is taking Rashpal and Kieran into the backyard

24:27to reveal the details of Natalie's business plan.

24:33Nice and spacious.

24:34At the moment, she's trying to set things up,

24:37get a desk in there to kind of be able to do her nails on.

24:42So, yeah, it is a very much so work in progress,

24:45but that is what she is working towards.

24:48So, Regan, she's got a beauty couch here, then, yeah?

24:51Yeah, that's where she does her waxing and her eyelashes.

24:58Right, so this is a couch that she's working from.

25:01It's dawning on the Sings that Natalie's plan

25:04faces some major difficulties.

25:06This isn't going to work because of the weather,

25:10the fact the shed has no window, light source.

25:14No, it's not cheap to get it up and running.

25:18The Sings have some serious thinking to do

25:21if they're to help Natalie succeed.

25:24Coming up, can Natalie see out the swap?

25:28It's my idea of hell. I'm overcoming quite a loss.

25:31I'm just going to keep pushing now.

25:33And can Rashpal nail his next challenge?

25:36What do you think?

25:48Natalie's been learning the road to riches can be bumpy.

25:52Initially, we did get a lot of abuse, racially.

25:57While the Sings are getting a reminder of a life

26:00where every penny counts.

26:02So, we spent £15 of our budget on just travelling

26:07to the local town to do this shopping.

26:12It's day four.

26:14Natalie's struggled with confidence her whole life

26:17and has been dreading today's activity.

26:20Every week, Rashpal and Kieran keep themselves sharp

26:24by pushing themselves physically with personal trainer, Kelva.

26:28Pleased to have you here. Excited.

26:31I want to go home.

26:33A lot of people, they want the effects of the gym,

26:36they just don't want to go to the gym, you know.

26:38There's a lot of times I kind of think,

26:41I'm going to go to the gym, I'm going to go to the gym,

26:43and then I kind of walk in and see everyone,

26:46they know what they're doing and I don't know what I'm doing,

26:49so I just think, no, it's my idea of hell.

26:53This is awful.

26:56It takes a while, but with Keldra and Callum to encourage her,

27:00Natalie's giving up her inhibitions

27:02and stepping right out of her comfort zone.

27:05My whole body's shaking.

27:07That's what we want. Give me an extra one for that.

27:09Pull down, pull down, pull down.

27:11I definitely think I've built my confidence quite a lot, actually,

27:14because I didn't think about who was watching or who was there.

27:17Three reps.

27:18I'm overcoming quite a loss.

27:20I'm just going to keep pushing now.

27:22Beautiful.

27:23Was it as bad as you thought?

27:25I actually really like that, yeah.

27:29Like it?

27:33In Gateshead, it's Rashpal's turn for a test.

27:36Sophie is one of Natalie's few clients.

27:39So, would you like to pick a colour?

27:42Can this leading aesthetic doctor master a manicure?

27:45Go for that one, because it matches Rashpal.

27:47Nice, matches your gym for that, yeah.

27:49But Rashpal soon gets sidetracked by Natalie's shed.

27:53Her vision is to have the shed. Yeah.

27:55Do you think that's a good option?

27:57Do you think it's a viable option?

27:59I think it's a lot harder in your shed,

28:01because it depends whether she's got the room,

28:04you need to get the council out and then stuff like that.

28:07Potentially a lot of hurdles.

28:09Yeah, to reach that point.

28:11Ten years in business has taught Rashpal

28:14that Natalie doesn't need the shed to succeed.

28:17What she does need is guidance and support.

28:20I think there's a lot more to this than simply, you know,

28:24buying some product and expecting people to be...

28:28..coming into your business.

28:30There's a lot more expenditure involved in this as well.

28:33What do you think?

28:35Very good. Thank you. I'm really, really impressed.

28:38I've really enjoyed it. Very, very pleased with it.

28:41The deal with Sophie is that she'll pay

28:43whatever she thinks the job is worth.

28:45For something like this, I think a customer or a client

28:48would pay £10 to £15.

28:50Yeah, well, that's... That'll help you.

28:52That's really going to help us. Thank you very much.

28:54Thank you. You're welcome.

28:56When Sophie handed over the £15,

28:59inside of me, I felt like,

29:02wow, this is going to massively help our budget.

29:05It also made me think about how Natalie would feel

29:08by getting £15 for a set of nails,

29:12and if she was to, say, make £30 to £60 a week, for example,

29:16it would make a huge difference to her life.

29:20In Middlesbrough, Natalie's nerves are on edge.

29:23She's agreed to give the cutting-edge hydrafacial treatment

29:27to Rashpal's senior employee.

29:29I've never really even looked into doing something like this before.

29:33I just have to go in and...

29:36..just be more confident in it.

29:41Giving a facial treatment in this high-end setting

29:44would intimidate any beginner.

29:47Hydrafacial room again? Hi!

29:49This is Carly, our senior therapist. Nice to meet you.

29:52She'll be observing the hydrafacial today.

29:54At first, I wanted to back out a little bit.

29:56I kind of wanted to just say, no, maybe I'll just watch.

29:59I didn't want to hurt anyone, didn't want to break anything.

30:02You'll be fine, don't worry.

30:04I didn't know what I was doing.

30:06Will you tell me how? Yeah.

30:09Oh, my God, I'm scared!

30:15It's hard, though.

30:16It looks so much easier when you're doing it than actually doing it.

30:20Yeah, like anything, isn't it, the more you do it?

30:22But it's just practice. Yeah.

30:2420 minutes in, she's starting to relax and concentrate on the job.

30:31Just on the nose. Mm-hm.

30:33So cool.

30:34You can feel the confidence in you now.

30:36Yeah, I feel really comfortable doing it.

30:39Being in the clinic again today

30:41just confirmed that that was the type of environment I want to be in.

30:45Amazing. Glowing. I love it.

30:48Lovely. You're doing a really good job. Thank you.

30:51It was really good.

30:53It was quite scary, I thought I was going to hurt her.

30:56I would maybe have a look at doing it in the future.

30:59It was just good to get, like, a little sense of what it's like.

31:04In Gateshead, the Sings may not think the shed

31:08is the answer to Natalie's business dreams,

31:10but it still needs painting and they are determined to help.

31:14We really want to try and finish this shed when Natalie comes home.

31:20We're making good progress. Halfway there.

31:23What starts out well soon turns to disaster.

31:27It's not quite going to plan, actually.

31:29We put the primer on on the outside.

31:31As soon as we finished, it started pouring down.

31:34The paint just washed off the shed.

31:38And we could just see it just going,

31:40and my heart just sank when that happened.

31:42And we know how much this means to her,

31:44and we were determined to get it finished despite the challenges.

31:47Rashbal's plans may have been dashed by the rain,

31:50but he's determined to get it done.

31:54Rashbal's plans may have been dashed by the rain,

31:58but in the kitchen, the entrepreneurial girls are flourishing.

32:02Are you sure it's two tablespoons of milk?

32:05Yeah.

32:06Normally at home, we don't really do that much baking.

32:09Cos Mum doesn't let us get the kitchen dirty.

32:13They've made cakes to sell

32:15and raised a few quid for the weekly coffers.

32:19The Sing girls aren't the only ones with a spring in their step.

32:23In Middlesbrough, Ava's leading the charge on a shopping spree.

32:27Going shopping today was obviously quite daunting at first

32:30because I'm not used to spending money on things

32:34that either I want or need, or Ava wants or needs.

32:39Ava shows her mum just how it's done.

32:42Seeing Ava's little face,

32:44I'm picking her up and I'm going,

32:46Ava's little face.

32:47I'm picking out her five million babies that she wanted.

32:50It was really nice, actually.

32:52It was a really nice feeling, watching her,

32:54watching how excited she was.

32:56Do you think we might be done now?

32:58I don't think she knew what to do with herself

33:00cos normally she's used to Mum saying no.

33:07Natalie's still nervous about spending.

33:10£161.

33:12I thought it was going to be worse.

33:15Like, it's the first time I've been able to just go,

33:17yeah, just go and get what you want

33:19and not have to worry about how much it costs at the end.

33:22Ava.

33:24Oh, OK.

33:25She went mad.

33:26She did what she went there to do.

33:28I won!

33:30I won!

33:33In Gateshead, the cakes are finished

33:35and the girls are off to sell them to the neighbours.

33:39The girls have really taken to the challenge

33:41and I've been really impressed by that.

33:43I think this may just be the start

33:45and they've been talking about making a cake for Natalie and Ava too.

33:52I think it went really well.

33:54We sold all four cakes and we made a profit of £3,

33:57which is good, so that can go towards a meal

34:00or maybe a treat at the end.

34:02I think it went really well.

34:04We sold all four cakes and we made a profit of £3,

34:07which is good, so that can go towards a meal

34:09or maybe a treat at the end.

34:11Coming up, Rashpal's desperate to find a way

34:14for the nail business to deliver for Natalie.

34:17What sort of kit do you need when you're first starting out to invest in?

34:20Well, it's probably about 2,000 to 3,000 pounds.

34:23Wow.

34:24While Natalie is also sizing up the cost of her dream.

34:27It's so expensive.

34:29£110.

34:38Dr Rashpal Singh is learning what a big difference a few pounds can make.

34:43That's really going to help us. Thank you very much.

34:46While Natalie and Ava are learning the joys of spending.

34:49She went mad.

34:51Did what she went there to do.

34:55Day five.

34:57Natalie's confidence in her plan is building.

35:00So far, she's spent money on toys for Ava,

35:03but now it's time to invest some of the budget in her business.

35:07Maybe I'll get a few...

35:10..neons.

35:11I think I just want a little bit more variation

35:14because I haven't got a lot at the minute.

35:17Getting into beauty is very expensive.

35:21The smallest things, like a pot of gel nail varnish,

35:24is anywhere up to £20 a bottle.

35:27It's so expensive.

35:30I do think the prices are really good.

35:33Especially for what you pay online and things,

35:37it's a lot cheaper than doing it that way.

35:40£110.

35:52In Gateshead, Rashpal hasn't given up on helping Natalie to succeed.

35:58So it's clear that the shirt isn't going to be the best option.

36:02I do really want to help Natalie.

36:04Given the high cost of travel,

36:06the Sings want to know how Natalie can establish herself

36:10in the local area.

36:11First stop is Paula, the nail specialist in a nearby salon.

36:16So the lady that we're doing the house swap with,

36:19Rashpal was able to do a set of nails

36:21and generally what she charges is about £15 for gel nails.

36:25That's slightly lower than most places.

36:27Typically, how many customers could they say a week?

36:30Seven clients a day would be, you know, I would say.

36:34But when you first start, it's a lot less than that.

36:37So what sort of kit do you need when you first start now to invest in?

36:40Well, it's probably about £2,000 to £3,000 worth of stuff.

36:44Wow.

36:45It's not cheap to start.

36:46I think until you build up that clientele,

36:49you need quite a lot of support, I would say.

36:52I understand.

36:53We also got some really good advice on what somebody might do

36:57to start in their own business

36:59and how long it takes as well to generate a nail business.

37:05Next, it's a visit to Caroline, owner of another local beauty practice.

37:12Caroline, in this field and where you are,

37:14is there a place for somebody who might be eager and keen

37:18to learn and develop their own skills?

37:21Most definitely, yeah.

37:22You're in a salon and there's somebody there that can help you,

37:26then that's better, because if she's doing it from home on her own,

37:30there's nobody there to guide her.

37:33She needs a little bit of experience, a bit of salon experience.

37:37It's a fantastic business to be in.

37:39I absolutely love my job.

37:41If somebody wants to do this as a living,

37:43I'm more than happy to help them.

37:45This is Caroline, owner of another local beauty practice.

37:49The Sings now have all the facts they need

37:52to put together a life-changing plan for Natalie.

37:57In Middlesbrough, the swap is almost over,

38:00but Natalie's got one last bit of pampering to enjoy.

38:04The salon today is a really nice treat for Natalie

38:07because she never gets her hair done.

38:09She doesn't like to justify how much it costs for her hair,

38:12so she just sorts it herself pretty much as much as possible.

38:17I never get to come out and treat myself and get my hair done,

38:20so it was a really lovely experience,

38:22and they were all really nice in there as well.

38:24So I think maybe it is something that I should focus on,

38:27going out more and just getting my hair done more,

38:30because it's made us feel ten times better.

38:36In Gateshead, the girls haven't spent the profit

38:40from their baking on themselves.

38:42Instead, they've bought some jeans

38:45and are applying their own fashion styling as gifts

38:48for Natalie and Ava.

38:52They've really, really surprised me

38:54at how well they've done with the swap

38:57and the fact that they've still got high spirits.

39:00Both Sing parents thought the swap

39:02would give their girls a life lesson,

39:04but instead, they've learned something about themselves.

39:08Both Rashpal and I,

39:10we need to spend more quality time together

39:13with each other and the children.

39:16We've made a curry, and we even managed, girls,

39:19we have a little bit of money left

39:21to buy that pack of biscuits we want.

39:23All for yours? Mm-hm.

39:28The week has been full of challenges for Natalie,

39:31but she's come away with a new resolve.

39:34I think it's really helped meeting people who know the family

39:40and when they're saying how much they really have struggled,

39:43even from being little, like, even from being kids,

39:46they have struggled, literally come from nothing. Yeah.

39:49And it's the same as me, and they've got all this.

39:52It just makes me think, well, yeah, I'm struggling now,

39:55but I could... I could have all this.

40:03Day six, it's time to go home.

40:06They're meeting up at a hotel midway between their homes

40:10to share what they've learned.

40:14Hello. Are you OK? You all right?

40:16I'm nervous. Natalie, are you all right?

40:18I'm OK. Good to meet you.

40:21The first topic of conversation is the budget.

40:25I was dreading...

40:28..obviously learning how you're managed on my budget.

40:31I've got immense respect for you.

40:33Oh, thank you.

40:34When we grew up, like, we didn't have everything.

40:37What people don't realise is just how difficult it can be

40:40with such a small budget.

40:42It's taken a week to understand Natalie's situation

40:45and come up with a way to help.

40:47Now it's time to reveal their plan.

40:50We saw that there was a lot of outstanding finance on a laptop.

40:53Yeah. So what we're going to do immediately

40:55is we're going to clear the finance on your laptop straight away.

40:59Sorry. No, don't worry.

41:04That's one of the things I struggle to pay for the most

41:07because it's always the last to come out

41:09and then by the time it comes out, I haven't got it there

41:12and then that's the one thing I constantly worry about.

41:16Getting on top of her debt

41:18will make a huge difference to Natalie's life.

41:21But the Sings' next offer could put her on the path to success.

41:25I know from my own experience it's really important

41:28to be the best you can be at a skill.

41:31Yeah.

41:32And also that means as well as having the right qualifications

41:36to be able to do that.

41:37So we're going to pay for accredited courses

41:40for nails and nail art.

41:42Thank you so much.

41:45Natalie can now build lucrative skills,

41:48but where will she put them into practice?

41:50You had a thought that you could possibly do your nail business

41:53from the shed?

41:54Mm-hm.

41:55We would advise that it probably...

41:57We've realised some of the challenges that you might have with that.

42:01Yeah, I noticed them too.

42:03The electrics and...

42:04The shed is not the answer to her problems.

42:07Instead, Rashpal's come up with a solution

42:10that with hard work will enable Natalie to reach her full potential.

42:16I've managed to get you an opportunity somewhere

42:19which is local to you.

42:21This person is an expert in nails for over 20 years

42:25and is willing to give you an opportunity

42:28which could lead to some substantial paid work for you.

42:32A break in a salon might just be the opening Natalie needs

42:36to give Ava the start in life she deserves.

42:39A way to start a new life.

42:41I don't think you understand how much just that changes my life.

42:46It's also important to remember

42:48that it's good to be part of a community as well.

42:51And I want you to consider yourself part of our community now as well.

42:55And I know how important it is to build self-confidence and belief.

43:00And, you know, you'll have me in your corner.

43:03LAUGHTER

43:05I'm going to go and get my nails done.

43:07The two families started worlds apart.

43:10Now they share a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

43:14I really appreciate everything.

43:18It's just going to completely change my life, so...

43:21I'm just... I'm more than grateful.

43:23I've just loved it. It's been amazing, yeah.

43:26Finally, it's back home.

43:29Natalie has been shown the path to the future

43:32she really wants for herself and Ava.

43:35Let's see here.

43:37What's that?

43:39Dear Natalie and Ava, I hope you enjoy your personalised gift.

43:42Aw!

43:43So, after six days of hard work,

43:46Natalie and Ava are finally back home.

43:49It's been amazing.

43:51It's been amazing.

43:53It's been amazing.

43:55Aw!

43:56So, after six days living like the other half lives,

44:00does money buy you happiness?

44:02I still don't think that money buys happiness, no.
