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!
@@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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
@@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.
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 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.
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!
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
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.
@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.
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.
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'.
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
@@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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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’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
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 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.
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 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.
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 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..!!
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 is not food itself that made the dogs sick, it is the fact that the food was switched abruptly. Dogs stomachs are not like peoples. To change food it has to be done slowly over time by mixing to two foods together and slowly decreasing the amount of food that you are weeding out with the new food you are introducing.
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.
I always think that working in an image conscious industry (fashion, modelling etc) you're gonna get sucking into the 'need' for expensive stuff! You're kinda powerless to stop it

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.

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.
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.

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 ❤
Wishing her well... Hope she got her life turned around.🙏❤️🙏
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.
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. ❤️
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?'
So loving the music in this one
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..!!
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.
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 :/
Becca is such a lovely person and gorgeous doggies 💞
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 love my dog,see her loving her dogs,She seems very nice person ❤️
Credit card companies are at fault they shouldn’t let people get so heavily in debt
At least she dressees better than most spendaholics
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
The most surprising thing about this is that 3000 dollar handbag was marked up as being 1500 pounds on the screen. Those were the days. 😬
Love these vids
Miss those adverts about consolidating all your debts into one easy payment. You can really tell this is pre-2008 tv.
Oh no it stinks of dog...! Suddenly that $3000k fendi bag ain't lookin so cute. Ouch.
I am very surprised and proud of her change
It is not food itself that made the dogs sick, it is the fact that the food was switched abruptly. Dogs stomachs are not like peoples. To change food it has to be done slowly over time by mixing to two foods together and slowly decreasing the amount of food that you are weeding out with the new food you are introducing.
she wrote a book a couple years after this was filmed about the video game Second Life called "Designing Your Second Life"
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.
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
Fascinating therapy with the clothes dummies getting her to communicate with the 2 sides of herself👍
I love her, such a gorgeous woman, I wish you all the best in life !!
She’s like a little kid with their parents credit card on Fortnite
WAHAHAH just like that😂😂
Sssssooooooo true
Emmett yesssss
No, she WAS like a little kid.
I always think that working in an image conscious industry (fashion, modelling etc) you're gonna get sucking into the 'need' for expensive stuff! You're kinda powerless to stop it
