The "SHOCK" of where she'd be at 55 if she didn't rein in her spending habits was, I think, the best example the show has come up with for an example of excessive spending. I can tell you that if someone had done that to me in my twenties or thirties, or even my forties, I would have saved a TON of money! Luckily I always managed to repay my massive debts in full without declaring bankruptcy, and without borrowing from friends and family. As dumb as it was, I was able to take a loan from my 401k, repaying myself at a much lower interest rate than those awful cards were charging. Hope she was able to break free!

A good comment. I also feel that the Jay/Ben team could call in a doctor from time to time. Many of the spendaholics on this show have dreadful diets and alcohol addiction. The shock of being confronted with how your health will be in 10 years if you fritter away your money on fashion instead of buying fresh fruit and veg, would be sobering - no pun intended. (Was she really going to drink a whole bottle of wine in one evening all by herself?).

​@elizzy8754 1 bottle of wine in an evening is a light night for a Brit 😂 when I used to go out, a bottle of wine was just pregame while doing my hair and makeup and then I'd drink at least triple that over the course of the night too! British drinking culture is wayy different to most of the world. A lot of my friends across the pond were super shocked to realise that teenagers here start drinking around the age of 12 or 13 with their mates whilst a lot of Americans don't touch alcohol until they're like 17/18. Some even older than that. With parental consent, it's legal to drink from the age of 5 in the home here so I had my first drink when I was about 10 (a glass of wine with Christmas dinner). It's just not that big a deal here

@@CraftyWitch1990 I started drinking socially (pretty much partying with friends every weekend) at 16. That held true until I got pregnant with my daughter at 25, at which point I gave it up and became a responsible adult for my daughter. I didn't think I should continue on with my drunken ways when I had such a precious new life to take care of. I just wish that it hadn't taken me sooooo many years to get my shopping habits under control, what a waste of money!!! 😪 It really was an addiction. I adore watching these shows that portray life across the pond, it just reinforces how much I'd LOVE to visit💕

My 'mother' is a little like Miriam with the living on the edge thing. She inherited almost $100,000 between 1985 and 1990. Bought a house with a $20,000 mortgage. When we sold it, the mortgage was $97,000 because she was constantly borrowing off it. She only had $45,000 for retirement - she worked full time until she was 75 but spent everything on her unemployed boyfriends. She admitted she isn't comfortable having money. She prefers the excitement of trying to scrape together money for her mortgage and property taxes, rather than setting money aside and just paying it. Paying her property taxes was all drama - borrow off the life insurance, borrow from her aunt, pull money off the home equity and panic herself with the thought that she wouldn't get the money on time (she looooves to panic). Obviously she is far more troubled than Miriam. Her search for excitement extended (until she had to stop driving) to picking up drunk, homeless hitchhikers thinking she had fallen in love and moving them into her house. Disastrous results every time, of course.

i think "lazy" in a very intelligent person often means they are just bored and do not know "boredom" because there is always more to do so it feels very much like "not meeting your potential" (because you're not) and like you're being "lazy" (likely you are just so good in so many things you have no idea where to start). coming from such an intelligent family i am very sure she is even more intelligent than she comes across in this video and i would bet that is the problem she's up against. i hope she has resolved these issues at this time in her life! she is a beautiful woman, inside and out! it is also very difficult both to be extremely intelligent (in areas especially like law and the hard sciences) and simultaneously very creative. there is always kind of a "war of what i want" going on inside your head! i do hope she is doing better now!

Having been brought up with nothing had set me on a path to earn money, a little bit at a time. I saved. As I got to a stage In my life where I could spend & save I did. I still save but I can spent more now if I wish. No one other than my husband gave me anything, we were a great team. Unfortunately what can happen if you have a child that grows into a adult & you end up giving & spoiling & being there always always financially is a disaster. Though it’s appreciated (you hope) it can be taken for granted. We both felt that we often did it wrong. Helping your child is encouraging then to go out & earn & become independent, being there to bailout is the worst thing ever, tough love should be mandatory!

Funny that the deeper issues connected to racism that she experienced in her childhood, identity issues, etc. have not been identified. But how can they when the therapist and the other person are accustomed to dealing with certain types of clients. This woman has been uprooted and planted somewhere at a crucial age. Look at how life and the people she associates with. She literally has no Black friends, no sense of identity and roots. Poor thing. Hope she's managed to find her way back.

Why does she have to have black friends? We don't choose our friends based on the colour of their skin. She doesn't actually say she suffered from racism, she just says she felt out of place. Her parents wanted the best education for her and her siblings. It doesn't seem to have affected them. Why does it have to be about race?

Savaged Pepe yes I agree. Miriam seems a really nice intelligent person but this is a classic example of people prioritising wants over needs. She doesn't need the £4 top but chooses to spend money on that instead of spending the £4 on having some nourishing meals for the week. I'd much rather buy the food to feel better than waste it on a top you don't need and probably won't wear a long time. You can't put a price on health.

That was very manipulative of him to convince her that she doesn't like to sing because she didn't want to sing a song she doesn't like. He should have let her choose whatever she wanted.to sing. Its like he deliberately set her up to feel awkward so he could say...see you don't really want to sing. Very crappy and gaslighty

It really pissed me off when he made it sound like her singing was a childhood dream, nothing more. I really thought her voice was good. Gail Vaz Oxlade who does a show called "Till Debt do us Part", would have really encouraged/complimented her talent, had her make a recording with a good band and done everything for her to get her name out there.

She is afraid of being exposed emotionally ,especially with her singing which is pure fantasy and not her real passion.The therapist missed the issue of the relationship with her father ,who she feels entitled to get him to bail her out financially and enable her not to develop as an independent adult ,unlike her siblings who have successful careers.I think she has abandonment issues from her childhood ,with her father who obviously adopted her ,after leaving Nigeria age 5 .The issues of her feeling left out at a predominantly white school ,I am sure this included racial exclusion and other experiences which she does not want to explore ..instead she presents this facade of a giddy immature girl with a rich daddy to save her.I hope she finds herself and stop hiding behind her clothes and spending. The therapist was very superficial in this episode .

SHE IS NOT ADOPTED! Her father is her REAL FATHER and she does not have "Daddy Issues". Her father just enables her because she's the baby and is very immature. She has confident issues from the guilt she's felt from under achieving and living irresponsibly.

She's overspending much less than a lot of people on the show, which is at least something. To be honest, the set up of flatsharing at 27 is entirely normal, especially in London. It was pretty normal then, too. With clothes, I think that if it's something she'll wear for years, like a suit or formal dress, then spending a fair bit isn't too unreasonable, but if it's fast fashion then it's just a waste. I wonder if she could have become a personal shopper. She could do all that shopping, make money from it, and not accumulate all of the clutter. Lol. I wrote that before getting to the end.

I thought that her room was fairly large. Not bad at all considering this is London. This show was about 15 yrs old now. I would think that someone who lives there now would consider themselves lucky to have this space.. I was thinking that it had the potential to be really cool with some good design elements and some organization.. I'm glad that she got rid of some of the clothing that she didn't use to free up some of the space.
