Escape from Affluenza was a PBS 56 minute show from 1998, produced as a sequel to the 1997 show Affluenza. While the original concentrated on consumerism and materialism in modern society, the sequel focused on how to avoid this.[1] It looked at stories of how to reduce debt, stress, time-pressure and possession-overload.[2]

The cast included Wanda Urbanksa as the host and Cecile Andrews, author of "Circle of Simplicity".[3]
