Rebecca Bloomwood lives a life of delicious contradiction. By day, she dispenses financial wisdom as a journalist at Successful Saving magazine. By night, she's drowning in credit card debt, hiding bank statements, and convincing herself that a 200 designer scarf is an "investment." Her financial journalism career happened almost by accident-after being rejected from more interesting publications, she landed at Successful Saving despite knowing practically nothing about finance. Three years later, she's still waiting for someone to expose her as a fraud. When we first meet Rebecca, she's staring at her VISA bill in terror, hoping it won't exceed 300. The actual amount? A staggering 949.63. Yet her shopping addiction is both her joy and her downfall. That Denny and George scarf isn't an indulgence-it's an "investment piece" that makes her eyes look bigger and her haircut more expensive. A magazine isn't an unnecessary expense-it's "research." Her financial denial runs deep, but her optimism runs deeper. Surely her situation will magically resolve itself, perhaps through a lottery win or a wealthy relative's unexpected bequest? What makes Rebecca so endearing is how familiar her justifications feel. Haven't we all, at some point, convinced ourselves we "deserve" something we can't afford?
