Confessions of a Shopaholic- Mahogany Patterson

Becky Bloomwood is an inspirational, irresponsible,but a dreamer. Becky has an personality of how she needs to shop to make her world seem better and escape the reality of life to fulfill her needs as a person, but this type of personality gets in the way of the people she loves and how she has to choose  between love or clothes. Becky becomes this individual who can not seem to have her finances in order she spent every penny she has until she comes with a payment of 9,000 dollars. 


This budget that Becky has gotten herself into she cannot buy anything she sees in stores because there is no more money to spend, so trying to juggle a job that she is already in to get into her dream job and have all the clothes and shoes for her world to be happy.



NEEDS
  • pay rent
  • pay credit bills
  • to attend friends wedding
  • to work for her dream job
  • to avoid hurting the ones you love        



WANTS
  • to buy every clothes, shoes 
  • to spend every dime in her pocket
  • avoiding credit payments
  • to avoid paying rent
  • reach to her dream job
  • to make it to the top




Becky has a tendency to tell the bill collectors that she has moved to fitzland, she is sick, she has been in the hospital,etc… by telling every lie in the book that she can possibly tell. Once her bill collector caught up to her he had confronted her on national television and told the she was in debt and refused to pay it. Becky could of did the responsible thing by not lying to her boss about the debt but telling him that she was in debt and avoiding loosing her job and being embraced on national television.


I agree with the way Becky tried to make things right between her friend by selling all her clothes and shoes and purses, to get back the brides maid dress for the wedding and to raise enough money to pay off her credit payments so the bill collector can stop harassing her. One thing about the end was how the guy automatically found her and the talk was simple but then it turned into them kissing and now being in love, that was not realistic but much of a fairytale story of some sort.
