    Not wanting to be in the system is a bad sign of mental health issues. This is what many homeless folks say (who choose to be homeless). Rebelling against reality is not helpful. I was a homeless single mother 25 years ago, not by choice. It was hell. I am 63 now and am so grateful that I pulled myself out of that hole. As you get older and your body starts letting you down, you need to be able to rely on savings, social security, a paid for home, etc. Homelessness and poverty in old age would be terrifying.

    So much trauma here. She could do online counseling instead of paying Uber drivers to listen to her. That would be an INVESTMENT in her emotional health, which she desperately needs first. She probably qualifies for food stamps. She won't be able to listen to practical advice until she learns and implements tools for increasing her sense of worth. As she speaks, her story isn't about money, it's all about her horrible childhood which she is trying to heal. Romain, thank you for trying to help her.

    literally all she has to do, per Romain's suggestion (if she doesn't want to grow up and get a real job), is to get a cheap car, drive lift/uber and hang like a laminated piece of paper from the back of the front head rests with the current clinical trials that month, their payouts, and to simply ask her, or provide an email address, if they are interested for her to sign them up. She doesn't even have to utter a single sales pitch. Then she would make uber money + the trail commissions, and probably a lot of her trail clientele overlaps into needing ride shares. It's a no brainer... Honestly, anyone doing ride share should consider doing something along those same lines.

    This poor woman is all over the place, I know it's outside of your purview on this channel, but this is one I would have really like to see you set aside a therapy budget for. I think it would help a lot if she could untangle why she wants marriage and kids so badly, but at the same time, a car is way too much responsibility. Kids are like 100 times harder than car ownership, so examining what she's really seeking before she dives into marriage and kids I think would be really healthy. Good luck Rebecka!

    her denial and self-inflicted struggles are a clear sign that she has some unresolved rejection and abandonment patterns. her family abandoned her and now she's abandoning her future self by excluding herself from the workforce. she's acting like someone on the fringes of society. not a good path once she hits 40s.

Show she asked her friend to sign a lease with her, total red flag. Luckily the friend said no. This person can be very dangerous and scary I just had the same experience with a girl I only met after a year. She gave me a sob story how she never got to travel on a girl trip and mind you she’s 38. I went to Paris with her and it was the worst experience, bipolar, narcissistic, scary, blaming her family, then a minute later she’s like oh I should bring my mom here to Paris. Then she told me she’s a communist (china) and so are her whole family in china and how she hates America and Europe (I’m American living in Finland). From the outside you would think she loves the west, she is married to a Finn and buy all these Finnish brands and all about Chanel, Hermes, etc, but says how much she hates LV (I ❤ my 2 LV SPEEDY) 😂I don’t care what she thinks at all about it but she said it so much as if to get me mad.

    I have only watched the start of this so far, but what she experienced is something I experienced when I was younger. When my parents started the divorce process all they'd talk about is how much we (the children) were a burden financially anytime we went out or did anything. Since the divorce process took 8 years (a lot of fighting) it became so ingrained that I often thought that maybe their lives would be easier if I removed myself from the picture. I now know that this isn't the solution to the problem, but I didn't know that until I finally found a therapist who was able to pull it out from me. I understand how awful it can be and unlike her horrible situation, my parents changed and I now have a great relationship with my father. I can't imagine how much of a slap in the face it is for her to have both her parents abandon her. She needs to drop them (which I know will be difficult), find a new social group, and move on. Hopefully, she can make some new friends that will support her and motivate her to improve her situation. Since she doesn't like 9-5s maybe she can find two part time jobs (one remote/one in person) that ='s 40 hours so she can use the in person job to meet new people/socialize and the remote job to chill. This way, she can save up while also building a new social circle!

    35 yo filed for bankruptcy this is gonna be a good one Romain!
    *I am back after watching the entire video. She would benefit immensely from weekly therapy. There are so many families that have separated from each other 😢it’s damaging to all family members!
    How long is her and her mate going to live in his car😢 that has to be a miserable lifestyle. Also what if he parts ways with her then what? No woman should put herself in that position bc nothing last forever.
    It seems like young ppl don’t want to work anymore 😢. I worked a full time corporate America tech job for 30 years and a side gig for 24 of those years so i could pay off my mortgage and car. I DID NOThave a mothers love either bc my mom was mentally ill my entire life, but it taught me to stand on my feet and work my ass off knowing I had no one to fall back on but me and God. She is gonna be sorry when she ends up on the streets which will make her depression and anxiety worse 😢. I worked 12 hours a day for decades so that I would not put myself in her position and if I can do it and be very successful, anyone can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She must stop using excuses and get herself into weekly therapy like I did and work hard. IT CAN BE DONE. Rebecca, if you’re reading this all of us are not afforded the same family opportunities so therefore we have to pick ourselves up and continue to move forward!!!!!!! I did and now I own my home outright, I own my car outright and no credit card debt with plenty in my 401(k), IRA, savings, money market account and 100% equity in my current home.

    I disagree with this gal getting a car. We have way too many uninsured drivers on the road & she is the poster girl for irresponsibility.
    I also pause when I hear her complain about how she was raised and her circumstances. My mother would have recommended that she volunteer with folks with handicaps. She could find contentment in realizing that she had it easy compared to the everyday suffering of others. It also disturbs me that $1,500 seems to be ok with her, while the debt that she racked up visiting the 30 countries that she is so proud to share was the reason she went bankrupt, which is incredibly irresponsible. So the health care, and probably food stamps that she seems to feel she is due is just an FU to the taxpayer, who is US.
    To me, her constant complaining about everything except her own stupid choices will be the hardest thing to shake, yet a negative attitude will put the fire out of the best intentions. I waitressed through college and, while I didn’t love every moment, I focused on the positives… nice customers, a great tip day, or how it kept me in shape. Therapy could help, but not if she spends her time dumping on her family… she feels way too sorry for herself as it is.
    Even though she may feel this is harsh, I pray it is the wake up call that she needs. She can continue to live a welfare life, but it gets worse as you get closer to retirement & time is not kind to the elderly. She needs to buck up.
    PS. I thought the episode was complete and later saw the after episode chat. It’s so hard when you see a huge train coming and you have plenty of time to warn the person to get off the tracks. So heartbreaking that she is stuck in the rebellion of a teen. In life that does not typically end well. I think the thing that shocks me the most is that she got $200 cash from a credit card that she’s calls “free money”. Thank you, Romain. I’m afraid I see a lifetime of homelessness for this young person if she doesn’t have a reckoning with herself.
    You did try & it’s important for us to see both successes and the larger challenges. I refuse to call her a failure, as she controls her destiny with every word she speaks.

    Why did she go on the show? I’m confused. She seems to be immature with her magical thinking. Of course everyone can decide how they want to live their lives, and if she wants to be broke in car and that makes her happy, that’s her prerogative. I know a few people like that, but they are truly happy being homeless. The freedom that life offers is more important than financial security to them, so they wouldn’t feel the need to go on a finance show. She thinks she’s independent but as long as she’s living in someone else’s car or under someone else’s roof, she not independent. She doesn’t want the responsibility of a car but is fine w/ her boyfriend having the responsibility and her benefitting from it? She just makes no sense. Aye Romain, you are more gracious than most.You handled this with so much class, you truly have a gift.

So scary actually, she basically settle for less because of him. 💀 Second, she completely lacks accountability, I understand her situation but let’s be ffr, she’ll make any excuse out there to not work.

    May she can work on a cruise ship. She can travel, be around different people and build her retirement. It does deeply hurt when your family does not show emotional connections. Live in an RV?

    Sorry but this woman is so frustrating and so immature. I would have pulled my hair. You are being just so kind. Don't know how you do it. I would have been screaming.

    If Romain was my father and talked to me like this, I would feel truly blessed. Her story reminded me of myself when I ran away at 18yrs old, feeling nothing and focusing on my boyfriend and not taking care of my future self. Unfortunately, it didn't get through to her to understand that "making money with Uber" was learning how to "take care of future self so you can have a family".

    She practically came to the show to complain aboit her screwd childhood, and was not gonna make any changes in her life. She really needs therapy.
