This is a lifestyle refocus on long term vs short term quick fixes for financial changes. What documentary does well, in my opinion, is it talks about the emotional relationships some people have with money, i.e. quick fixes to feel better by buying food, clothes (aka retail therapy), to make one feel better. "Get Smart With Money" talks about the long term strategies towards feeling financially free. I think a lot of people may be in denial mode and thus, not open to these ideas.
However, for people that are open minded, this is a great start to making changes, to ensure financial and emotional success.
