53 Shopping Trips A MONTH? - Til Debt Do Us Part 404 - Love Affair With Luxury

Simone is a champion shopper who manages to make 53 shopping trips in a single month. Even though she’s on maternity leave, a luxury car is next on her list. Meanwhile, her husband Frank suspects that his wife’s shopping is the cause of their debt, but he doesn’t want to rock the boat. Gail tries to show this couple where they could end up if they don’t change their spendthrift ways, but will she be able to make an impression?

Her brother is a millionaire (apparently) and she believes he’s going to buy her a house and take care of her.

Jjj i love that they brought up the false belief many people have of "i would do this if i was on public benefits". Like girl, you would have to be deep in poverty to qualify for public benefits. I don't know about Canada, but here in the US you would need to make less than $28k for a family of four to qualify for public benefits and those benefits would only make your situation slightly less worst.

[@christinebutler7630]

And here in the US benefits are time limited and have certain requirements attached.

[@nenavice9903]

"i would never put my family in that situation, she doesn't understand me" is literally prettying herself up to the point she's putting her family in crippling debt. One layoff and it's over. You'd have to live like that anyway, but heaven forbid they have to learn to live with less. Some people.

They do not make that much money for her lifestyle. It’s unbelievable how a parent can live carefree with money when they have the responsibility of taking care of kids. They are going to stress their kids out when their older forcing them to take care of them when their older because of their poor spending habits and not saving money for retirement

[@slipknotfannumber2]

Simone hates herself and only finds satisfaction in shopping and altering her appearance because of her lack of self esteem. Gail could not fix that, sadly.

[@somethingclever8916]

She needs spenders anonymous

[@williamegler8771]

She understands you exactly... Materialistic and greedy with a sense of entitlement. Spending money she hasn't yet made to try to impress people she will never meet by trying to appear wealthy. When in reality she is just gaudy and tacky. She should go places where women with real money are and observe how they dress. I bet the minute the show ended she went right back to her previous spending habits. If she can put it on a credit card she can afford it...

No she buys the stuff because she likes it. That saying was probably invented by a man. I’ve heard it before

God Almighty I remember this Episode. Heartbreaking. She's a Real Life Housewife Wannabe but she should remember that they don't have it easy. In Atlanta Phadera's Husband Apollo went to Prison for Corporate Fraud, Terese Guidice and her Husband went to Prison for Bank Fraud, Nene's lost her Husband to Cancer. They had so much Money but it didn't solve their problems. Nothing wrong with wanting your kids to have what you didn't have growing up but hey enough is enough.

[@Iworkwithnitwits]

Why did they 'have to keep the kids up late multiple nights to do the challenges?' One was being in an apartment for a few minutes in the middle of the day, one was fishing and the others were writing budgets. Did they keep the kids up to do maths for them?
