- 28-year-old Becca is addicted to looking good, but her credit card bills are not a pretty sight. A PA at a luxury shoe company, Becca earns £28,000 a year, but in the last three years, she racked up an unfashionable £15,000 debt. But, she doesn’t just treat herself; Moloko the pug, and Buster the bull terrier are living the lush life too. Her friends think she’s gone too far.

The reason that the clothes look from the 2000s is cuz this video is more than 10 years old (From 2006 or so). They upload these programs on youtube now and i'm totally here for it!
This is why overspending on clothes is ridiculous... all her thousands of dollars on handbags and shoes went out of style 🥴
On its way to 'vintage,' I guess.
@@mizzmiami3242 Exactly
@@mizzmiami3242 I actually like the first items that were shown, surprisingly. Even the Fendi bag, that was all the range in the 2000's, had a modest design.
Thanks for letting us know! I was wondering why I was getting an early ‘00s vibe ☺️
Since both of her parents died from their addiction, it is entirely possible that her addiction is not only a maladaptive coping mechanism, but also a genetic predisposition. I hope she gets the psychological support she needs, & not just judgement from people who do not understand, or who do not WANT to think about this kind of thing differently than as a character flaw.
This video is of 2006. So let's she got the right help she needed.
Definitely. Addictive tendencies can manifest in many ways.
Epigenetic rather than genetic.
Everyone has some kind of addiction, she's not unique or inherited from parents
In another comment thread someone found her and she is married with 2 children and has an IM account. @thestylishbookkeeper or something like that.
Found her online to see an update, she has a husband and children and seems to be doing fine!
At least she now has a good life. I wouldnt imagine myself spending £5000 in 2 days. She better teach her children to be attentive with money
How did you find her?
@@kellyblondie8415 they mention her name twice and when I wasn't sure how to spell it I just searched the name of the show + Becca and her full name comes up in the episode list.
M M done that lol but they just come up with people from America, and you said she’s married so I have no hope finding her lol
I love updates! Thanks for sharing. Great for her
I thought they were so rude about her home! Hearing those comments would probably make her want to go out and spend!
I like how the camera pans quickly past the handcuffs attached to the bed! 😂
What time?
I thought I noticed that alone 😀😀😀😀

Oml
She looks so stylish and timeless, she wears clothes that are fashionable in 2020
Yes, I was thinking the same. Her choices actually stood the test of time, I hope she kept the stuff.
meanwhile 99% of the human species gets murdered with labor induced starvation so there's no sane people on earrth left to appreciate anything. just maniacal well off people and their endless desire to cause harm to create profit for themselves.
My heart went out to Rebecca when she broke down while visiting the home where she grew up; She is such a gentle person who shows so much emotion that she has blocked out for so long.
Boo-effing-hoo.
Becca would look fabulous in anything ..Love her beautiful hair! ❣️
I agree, her hair is gorgeous and she seems to be a very likable person.
I love her hair too.
Stunning hair
I've been binging Spendaholics for the last couple weeks. This one is my fave by far. What a charming person she is.
Just because they assumed her house would be very lavish doesnt mean her house was grubby i found them both extremely rude
Especially the woman; she was very judgemental.
And when she said about her dog's clothes " Does she think she's Paris Hilton?" 🙄 How rude! Only PH's dog can have clothes or what?
That bald guy was especially annoying, complaining about “dog smell”. Those dogs looked clean and well taken care of, so he was just rude. I don’t like him in any of the episodes and from the comments I can see I am not the only one. There is just something “off” about him. He is ruining the whole show with his appearance.
Me too! They are obviously not animal lovers. Especially the guy. Like, how dare they make snarky comments about her feeding her dogs healthy organic food. If you have a dog or any animal for that matter, you should be feeding them healthy food and so what if it costs a little bit more. The problem is obviously the three thousand dollar handbags and spending three or four hundred dollars a pop on shoes. Not the dogs.
Yes, I thought the language they used when describing her home was so demeaning and insulting! A young girl living on her own in South-East England will not be able to afford a lavish home.
Out of many of the girls who are on this show.. i would say she had the best fashion aesthetically & style. Some of the other guest had a lot of designer items but the way they were put together didn’t look appealing at all.
She also had a better body size and the height to carry off the fashions better.
I'm the extreme opposite. I really can't enjoy life being in debt. Life is short but I don't want to live it stressed out either.
Nobody cares
@@sxbris yes they do.. It's you that doesn't. Speak 4 yourself
@@sxbris I care too and if you truly didn't care, you wouldn't have responded to her comment or even read it. So... you do care. A lot. You're clearly a very immature and insecure person. That's sad.
@@satlva2908 trueeee
Nothing wrong with that. My husband is like you and it really helps balance my shopaholic tendencies - we’ve learned to meet in the middle. 🙂
I mean, can we talk about the background playlist....it is bangin'!! Britney's Toxic, Queen Bee's Naughty girl😍, In da club remix...omagoshhhh
This was randomly suggested to me by UA-cam, and I'm now binge-watching the whole series. What a transformation! She's correct in the way that thinking you look good makes you feel better about yourself. However you can still look good on a small budget!
Becca seems a lovely woman and looks a lot happier now some of her demons have been defeated. Hope she's doing really well.
Surprised I’ve not seen any comments about Becca’s resemblance to Catherine Tate, it’s all I could see! She’s intelligent and talented, I really hope she’s out of debt now and doing well for herself. X
I came here just to look for this comment. It's striking x
Came here to say this, glad someone else already did😄🖖🏽
I feel for her so much, not dealing directly with the death of her parents, Mum especially. My Mum was diagnosed with cancer and passed three months later. Not enough time to deal with the sadness, anger, regret. I suppose that’s what’s she’s going through. Really puts you through a horrible depression. I just wanted to hug her when they visited her old home. I cried with her. I’m so happy that M M says she’s doing amazing now. That hurt and pain will always be there, it’s how you cope with it.
My mum died when I was eight. I’m 74. Not a day goes by I don’t think of her. It is a wound that never heals.
It's so nice to see her re-discovering her passion and doing something positive with the way she feels
She reminds me of Donna from Doctor Who. I watch this instead of fashion vlogs, since it help me to notice that I have a spending habit and fashion vlog trigger my unnecessary spending.
I’m actually really proud and surprised she went into a thrift shop on her first day! She knows what she’s doing she’s done it before LOL
I can’t tell you how happy I am that all the old episodes of Spendaholics are now on here. Now we just need Bank Mum and Dad
I really loved Bank of Mum and Dad but there is no trace of it on UA-cam.
What a lovely intelligent girl she comes across as. Been throigh alot. I wish her the very best
“Stinks of dog and slightly grotty really” wow what a gentleman 😂
🤣
I thought that was totally unnecessary to make that comment! Her house looked clean! I didn’t like either one of the so called helpers! She needed help, but she definitely didn’t need to be criticized! There’s also nothing wrong with feeding the dogs healthy food. They don’t need the clothing and it looked like they had enough toys!
@@rainesonne1320 if you are in heaps of debt you should NOT be buying ridiculously expensive dog food (or even have dogs at all to be honest). Dogs do not need fancy organic food, it's all marketing spin.
@@rainesonne1320 completely agree. That was so rude.
Extremely rude, I thought her home looked nice!
Nothing wrong with paying for quality food for your dogs
For sure depending on the brand etc it can be great for them, as well as if you can afford it you can give dogs full people food diets as long as you give the right things, variety etc. Like giving your animals 100% dry dog food can probably suffice, but some people just like spoil their animals in some healthy ways
NO. 🙄 Dogs are NOT humans or little children. If you're that far into debt, you cannot afford to own dogs.
Yeah agreed. Immediately justified that expense.
Mind you, she's buying that food for a purebred pug when a shelter dog deserves just as much....
@@TomikaKelly they're intelligent animals with feelings and just as suceptible to health conditions as we are. You don't get to say they're not worth good food just because they're not walking on two legs.
If you know someone is coming to your house just put the handcuffs up 😂
Idk lol maybe she wanted them to know she’s a freak 😂 FreakAaaayyyy
Becca is stunningly beautiful with devine colour hair, and is still very young to have both parents passed on, so of course she is grieving.
Kids at school should learn about finance and management.
She seems great. So confident. Pretty genuine.
Why would she need to rent a bag , when she owns them herself... she can rent all of her own bags and get a constant cash flow coming in !
It's to stop her buying more 😉 satisfies the urge to shop.
It's called 'having her cake and eating it too' - the bags she has (most) WILL go 'out of style' and not be desirable enough to rent out. Rather than trying to deny her ALL of her penchants for designer bags, she can have at a tiny fraction - then send it back when it's 'out'.
I am telling you I think sites like this are used by certain Beverly Hills Housewife “fashionistas” who are always in current “style”.
She gets the thrill of buying a cool bag, uses it, and then just as she’s had the chance to get bored with it, it’s time to send it back. Then, she gets to pick another one and the process restarts. It’s a fraction of the price AND she’s not stuck with yet another bag that she doesn’t want anymore
There was a follow up show called ‘spendaholics saved my life’... I wonder if these can also be uploaded for updates ?!
She’s gifted! I hope she’s living her dream now!
What an amazing woman..i really take my ' hats' off to you Rebecka...hope you succeed in all your endeavours!!
She needed to heal. Bless her. And I love how they got her focused on creativity! Excellent coaches.
❤❤❤
Skimping on crappy pet food now means bigger vet bills later. I'd never do that.
Very true!!
That's not always true my 5 dogs ate grocery store dog food and all of them lived to 13 and 16 years old
There is such thing as a middle ground. My pets eat good quality food, that's still less than a quarter of the price of the fancy "organic" stuff.
Good pet food doesn't have to be organic. Those dogs walk barefoot and lick their behind, so organic food is bulls
I always feed my cats and dogs whatever I am having (home cooked meals from scratch) their lives were and are long. 24 year old cat.
How to spend £5000 in 5 mins.
Chanel bag. Done!
It is good to feed the dogs well, but dogs really don’t give a burp for “clothes,” fancy leads, and expensive toys.
Agreed. I also don't think animals should be subjected to any kind of cold-turkey budget, food-wise. I think it's cruel to give them cheap garbage when they are used to the good organic stuff. Let the humans suffer, not the pets!
Exactly what I thought. Just spend on the food and nothing else for the dogs (and save some for the vet)
Qualified in dog training and studying animal med- can confirm a good diet is important and a dog is as happy with a tennis ball as it would be with the most expensive gizmo
Yes, food, love and vet.
She may be overspending on dog food but you can’t change foods dramatically, overnight. She could hit a middle ground between the organic and bargain brands, but I’d introduce the new food slowly.
She looks like the 1987 mall singer Tiffany who sang " I think we're alone now" :)
Yes, a little bit.
She is very pretty and has a great figure too!
Omg I was thinking the same thing - totally thought she looked like Tiffany!
and also "if love is blind"
I Googled Tiffany because of this comment- she looks identical!
Was once a brand junkie. Till my son asked me why would I want to wear another person's name on my body seems like a form of slavery. Never thought of it that way before. I see people sporting a designer bag now think wow that designer doesn't even know you exist but yet you wear their name for the whole world to see.
Your son is a smart lad. He and I think alike. I want both nothing to do with designer clothings and accessories. I suppose wise people think alike, but fools seldom differs. 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂Cheers mates!
That's what my husband also exactly said when the conversation about designer brands popped up.
Wow, that is possibly the most astute observation I’ve heard and from the mouths of babes. I’ve never cared about labels, but that makes me feel even ickier about them. Smart boy!
So proud of this woman!! She’s absolutely beautiful inside and out 🥰💗
The Fendi bag is hideous even for the mid 2000s....
She’s my favourite so far. Not sure but there’s something about her which seem so down to earth and genuine
She's very artistic and a gifted designer!
Surely someone from the BBC would've known not to suddenly change a dog's food???
Amyv Wilson I thought that. There’s loads of rubbish that goes into cheap dog food. I would keep that and give up the dog clothes etc
@@Violetandaustinchanle You have to use a transition period when you give a dog or cat another brand of food of about 10 days, giving more and more of the new food otherwise they will have problems with their digestion.
trovey02 erm thanks for that info 😂
Thank you! I feel like that’s common sense- you can’t suddenly switch a dog’s food!
If I ever get a dog maybe its best to feed it cheap food from the get go so it don't know any different.
She seems a nice girl who's hhd it rough with her parents passing.Think she hit the nail on the head, these people are not happy, they think spending is going to help, but the rush doesn't last long, they crave more and more.We all make mistakes and have our own addictions. Until we live life with thankfulness for the little things in life, and gratitude for what we have even though it may not be much, we may never experience true happiness. It's not so much what we have, but more who we are and how we feel about ourselves and life.gratitude and contentment bring true happiness, as well as self-love and love for those around us.Love each other people.
Beautifully said, thank you
I think the psychologist was rude when they said her house stinks of dogs as a dog lover my house also smells of dog . However she seems like a nice girl
Designer clothes aren't that great. You're paying mostly commission for the name. It's made of the same stuff as the budget items.
@cosmosspring Both of you are partly right
@cosmosspring Yes that is totally correct! But you have to admit that some of the cost is just from the brand name itself, that's why I said both of you are correct.
@cosmosspring Yea I agree with you:)
Unless you buy couture
@cosmosspring some are pure quality and some is because of great advertising
Becca is completely alone and the dogs are her support.
The irony that the vets bill is just £100 short of the price of a Fendi handbag..
Good lesson.
Compared to some of the other females on this show shes actually pretty stylish
That was my first thought! Not the shoes tho. That spy bag is super cute now. I hope she held onto it
Except for the Fendi bag love of her life...
Women* not females
@@miroh3540, are women not adult females?
@@tattie278 sure, but it's just bad manners
She's in emotional pain and uses things to fill a void
Many people do this; Go on spending sprees to try and make themselves feel better. My mother did when my father died.
That's like my sibling!
@@gillianbrookwell1678 yup its a sad thing
Or she likes good quality things. Some of us have style
@@katemiller7874 very true and nothing wrong with that👍
Never work for a high end store! You're encouraged to dress only in designer labels. I worked in selfridges for 2 years and built up £2000 worth of store card debt and over 7000 in credit card debt. I left because of the debt I was in and It took me years to get out of it. It looks so glamorous but its so dangerous.
Yikes!
They always have banging music in these shows lmao
Rebecca is coping with the emptiness...she is a beautiful woman who is mourning. I think she is very talented. She could also rent out her own bags and clothes.
I'll watch these videos till my eyes hurt💀
I didn't see anything wrong with her house, it was actually quite spacious & far from how a lot of students live
I've been waiting for a new episode for about a month.
So glad one has been released.
She was such a champ, adapted more successfully than others I've seen on here!
I cannot believe Catherine Tate spent so much!
She reminded me of her as well!
Lol
I can't believe that Catherine Tate is only 28! 😂
@@sixxlee890 leave Catherine tate alone 😂😂😂
@@anaisanais4626 you're right. She must be having a tough enough time if she had to go on Spendaholics. 😂
Who gave this show the rights to all the mid-2000s hits!?! Love it! Also who knew Gina shoes were such a a thing
Because the show is from the mid-2000s
@@arbitrary_raspberry yes, but often licensing music can be expensive, so how did the show have the budget for the popular songs from the time?
When I heard her talk about her parents dying I just wanted to scream “girl go ahead and spend all the money in the world!” 😢
It’s interesting that the therapist first walked in with Chanel flats on. Oh the hypocrisy! 😂
He probably can afford them tho
It's no deal to cheat out on good food for your pet. She'll pay later in vet bills.
Nonsense. Dogs are hardy animals. Supermarket brand is fine as long as it's not cheap plastic dog roll- check the ingredients.
Tbh this is the best looking house and clothing style that I have seen in this series. (Considering the fashion period at the time, of course, haha)
30:10 "Obviously this is upsetting you" *he smirks*. I swear most therapists are sadistic narcissists who thrive off of others' misery.
Right !!!
I’m just thinking how cheap the designer goods are in comparison to now!!! 😂😂
Oh yeah totally - and the quality is - pardon me - $hit now
I think the most depressing thing about re-watching this now is apparently you could get a week’s worth of food shop done for 8 pound 70 then lol. For anyone wondering: she made the equivalent of well over 52,000 pounds a year in today’s money.
You still can if you shop in the right places.
I’ve actually heard of people who are addicted to shopping, it is awful but they cannot stop themselves from spending money, even if they know that they will end up with no money, they do need help, everyone needs help with addiction, every social class should get free help with addiction or anything that would get them into trouble.
shopping addicts are worse than drug addicts because a drug addict develops tolerance and has a point where their bodies will say "change or die" but a shopping addict doesnt have any immediate physical repercussions for their actions. just get credit card bills with big numbers and can file bankruptcy when they need to wipe the slate (the only thing comparable to a tolerance) of debt clean
There's a huge difference in $2 dog food and $40 dog food. She shouldn't cut back on keeping a dog healthy. I would just cut back on shoe obsession!
EXACTLY !! Was thinking about how much she loves her dogs and is feeding them top quality pet food. 😊😊😊
This soundtrack! Jesus Christ!
Britney, Beyonce, violet femmes, 50 cent covers and not 5 minutes in 😆 God save the 00s.
The last great decade for music, after that it went downhill :/
These spenders have psychological issues that trigger their spending. It's heartbreaking that she's unable to know or express her feelings. Hoping she's in a happier place. ❤️
I didn't really like the way they insulted her home, looked fine to me!
Doggy smells are awful.
@@jaynestag95 Not as awful as your smells.
@@jaynestag95 ignore the reply. These are stupid dog nutters. They'll prefer using dog poo for facial treatment too.
I loved her kitchen. All the cabinets and counter space.
The soundtrack always hits in these episodes!
Wishing her well... Hope she got her life turned around.🙏❤️🙏
Fabric is hella expensive where I'm at. Definitely not cheaper to make your own clothes when I can go to Winners and buy the same thing for 30 dollars. It's usually 16 dollars for a yard of fabric. Unless you catch it on sale or clearance but then it's usually picked through by the time I get to it.
I’m 30 and I can’t imagine losing both parents, and to alcohol what’s more, I really feel for her and I hope she has a good relationship with her brother and family now ❤
I live for these episodes.
This is really a very encouraging video, overcomer! ♥️
Having savings means a £1200 vet bill is "Oh no, I'm sorry puppy, let's get you better' without the 'How am I going to pay for this?'
I love my dog,see her loving her dogs,She seems very nice person ❤️
Oh no it stinks of dog...! Suddenly that $3000k fendi bag ain't lookin so cute. Ouch.
Benjamin is a licensed therapist in the UK. His personal history is pretty amazing. His mother died before he was a year old. His family was wealthy and money replaced attention. He had a severe breakdown around 2008. He ultimately ended up in the US for treatment. He has five children and that was his only reason to go on living. He was able to put his family back together and has opened two clinics in the UK.
it's so easy to judge her isnt'it ? well no, i won't judge her.everyone's got issues with money, spendings, love, etc
I flew out to see my mother in law last May for my birthday. It was a dreadful trip..!! She was SO mean and rotten. I was horrified that she treated me like dirt, so I went to Cartier and bought myself a $4000.00 handbag to ease the pain. Not parting with this purse. It's beautiful. I had a bad feeling about the trip and should never have gone in the first place...
Trust your gut feeling. I didn't..!!
At least she dressees better than most spendaholics
2000 fashion was ghastly
So loving the music in this one
Hope she’s got clear of her debt and learnt a lesson I always think if you’re in debt myself included you’ve got to get after it
42:00 omg that scene was a genius idea from Benjamin. Fascinating and so emotional to observe this process.
Credit card companies are at fault they shouldn’t let people get so heavily in debt
The pug’s cute.
So is the poor bulldog she didn't take out or got the limelight.
But stinky.
ALL out of fashion & No resale value ... a good retrospect for ourselves .. this is how we will see ourselves in the future if we spend like that
My thoughts exactly! Thousands of dollars wasted on clothes that’s no longer in style
I am very surprised and proud of her change
Fascinating therapy with the clothes dummies getting her to communicate with the 2 sides of herself👍
I wish they could get in touch with some of these people to see how they're doing now.
A friend of mine used to work in a designer shop, I was shocked when they told me the mark-up on designer stuff is about 200% 🙈
What is a mark up?
i've seen the numbers for many products production costs. know what it costs to make something in china etc. almost everything you buy in a eurocentric country is priced at a minimum of 1000%-2000% more than its production cost. everything we buy usually only costs a dollar or two to make at the very most. and those things are usually the complicated products. simple stuff like nails and screws and hammers are marked up 10,000%+ of production cost lol. its insane and unsustainable. most of the lucrative aspect comes from the nearly free labor they try their hardest to always use instead of ever compensating workers fairly or adequately.
Miss those adverts about consolidating all your debts into one easy payment. You can really tell this is pre-2008 tv.
Charity shops you can find real jems 😊 I shop at charity shops
This guy needs therapy himself. I find him about as warm as a slab of ice. Would be hard to warm up and confide in a therapist like him.
Omg...i thought the same...how can you see a person crying like that and not even giving a hug.. 🥴
His face is so pan.. He has no emotional reaction in his face. So so plain.
He's a robot
i feel like he does very well with them actually. he has a very British sensibility. and also i guess you guys have never been in a therapy situation before but it is not at all appropriate for a therapist to try to hug their client during a session. crying is a common part of a therapy session and you're not supposed to start just touching the patient.
I found him irritating as well, just so completely without any personality. I've just googled him to see what kind of qualifications he has, and it turns out about a year after this episode was filmed he had a total mental breakdown.
He was in a lot of emotional pain when filming this series.
She is so gorgeous and talented! Glad to see the comment that she is doing well :)
I love her, such a gorgeous woman, I wish you all the best in life !!
This episode has great sound track.
