Princess is a 1/2 hour TV show based on the concept of a "Princess," defined as a totally self-centered female who spends far beyond her means to pay the bills. Today, I watched an episode about a young female on "stress leave" from her demanding job as a make-up demonstrator in a shopping mall cosmetics department who is spending money like she earns $6000/month, rather than living off her disability checks. Yeah, disability checks!!
She's over $20k in debt to her family, but here's what I found interesting: her theory of debt repayment.
The money was spent a long time ago, so why don't we all just move on? She doesn't understand why her family cannot just forget the past (because Princess has), even though her elderly aunt loaned her $10K for school bills and is repaying the loan every month because the Princess can't afford the payment herself. The same aunt would like to have her car back, but the Princess can't return her only means of transportation -- or pay for the insurance, the gas, or her parking tickets -- so her aunt should just get over it and move on. And her mother? She REALLY wants her favorite daughter to pay back the $7200 she's borrowed from her own mother? We could probably also talk about credit card debt, but you get the picture.
Cue the giggles when she spent her rent money on a totally cute pair of hot shoes she just had to have ... .
