I understand what her sister is saying about not bailing her out but she shouldn't have encouraged her shopping habits. If you know that a friend/family member is hugely in debt don't go shopping or out to expensive dinners with them. Invite them to other activities that don't involve spending.

I agree. All the people she knows are very well off so they look down on her habits despite having the same ones. They can't expect a person who's never been taught how to handle money to just know how to handle money when they've grown up around people who have the means to splurge. I just felt the bad for her the whole video with the general lack of understanding that came from the people around her with exception to her mother.

And just like that, I stopped buying stuff and started saving astronomical amounts of money. I’m happier knowing I have money in the bank incase something happens. I don’t think everyone who spends has deep seeded emotional issues, but have rather just been had by the millions of advertisements we’re subjected to daily.

I think it helped to discuss that event because clearly she’s doing a lot better now

She's really receptive to the help she's receiving and seems like a genuinely sweet person. If i could I'd want to be there for her too. I'm not even surprised she's so popular. Really hoping her friends have embraced the new her and accepted her for who she is regardless of spending habits.

Shes a lovely person and so genuine. Glad she getting the help before it ruined her. Hope she doing well now 😊

I get what he’s saying about her walking away from a stable relationship, but not everyone wants marriage. There is a chance that she saw qualities in her longtime boyfriend, that made her see that he wasn’t marriage material. Not everything is a matter of “cold feet”, which is sloppy and lazy analysis. Sometimes people have a good way of leaving out clues as to why they shouldn’t get married. There’s probably more to that story than what was mentioned here. Although she lives in mountains of debt, she could lead a satisfying life once she is able to find her way out of her financial issues. Being married doesn’t necessarily mean your life is complete, there can be a litany of unwanted entanglements for both parties. Marriage doesn’t necessarily mean stability. If she wants to live the life of a single woman and be happy with it, she shouldn’t be forced to marriage just because of social constructs.

​@brisa2004 Just a thought.... ● Since Shannon was such a daddy's girl.. it could be that when her mother & father's marriage broke down...her mother's...(subliminally)...directed some of her pain and resentment onto Shannon. ● Almost along the...(internal dialogue)...lines of "Why did Jim (eg) love u more than me?" 😠 Ur his daughter...but I'm his wife. ● Consciously...Shannon's mum knows their divorce wasn't Shannon's fault. But b/c her hubbie would most have likely critisised her all the time...but praised Shannon all the time...(b/c she was his Princess)...Shannon's mum is only human. ● So, some of that resentment manifests as coldness 2wards Shannon.

Omg that was a bombshell I was not expecting to hear that from her. That is a huge step and I am so proud of her for making that breakthrough. I hope she gets some help to guide her thru this. My heart breaks for her and want the world for her. She is a sweet person you can see that

I don't understand how these people even managed to get their credit card & loan applications approved to begin with.

Those companies get easy money from suckers.

Benjamin's red & black leather jacket 😂🤣😂 OK but onto the serious side the problem with this lady is that she's trying so hard to keep up with the people around her. Her sister who goes shopping with her should really teach her how to make money rather than spend it. :teach a man yo fish and he can eat forever"

An absolute f-ing nightmare to be surrounded by wealth-family , friends, ex’s and coworkers-and have it seemingly just beyond and out of your reach ...

She's really such a lovely girl

"I like proving fake things to people I don't know" Oh how great is that!

She has an addiction, if they cut her off cold turkey and gave her nothing to play around with she could go back to her old ways quicker so I think that was sensible

She feels the need to keep up with her rich family which is sad. They are family, they shouldn't make you feel like that way. She's a grown woman that got herself into debt and it's not up to them to pay things for her, (they already are helping her, her rent is only £200 to stay in that mansion). However they are not a very supportive bunch.

She wants to live a rich lifestyle while not being rich. Why should her family support her for her ridiculous fantasy? A lot of families are like this. Some members r rich, some r not so rich. Do you see them all trying to become rich like them and land in massive debts? Nah.

Exactly. They don’t have to support her but if I’m doing well selling cars and real estate you better believe I’m putting my sister on. If I’m in sales and going well I’m putting in my family so they can be on too. Her family is ridiculous. Her sister especially

Bless her poor soul. Pretending she is fine to the outside world instead of opening up in a private non camera therapy session. It would be hard to be vulnerable on international TV.

The majority of people I know are more or less like her. We all growing up surrounded by trends and idea of fancy lifestyle we've seen on Hollywood movies. Many people want to live a higher life standard than they can actually afford. It's social pressure, not even a jealousy of better situated family members, friends or neighbours, but internal fear you'll be socially excluded if you won't keep up with them.

This is an eye opener to me, honestly.

Those girls should come to US and buy all these shoes and closes at ROSS for 10 dollars each 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Hoping Shannon has understood herself and found a sense of happiness. She's a sweetheart. 💕

She had bulimia for 15 years. Her teeth were probably in horrible condition. I had bulimia for many years myself and I spent a lot to fix them up. That was probably the best thing she spent money on.

I love this show. It reveals the underlying issues that cause us to cope in extreme ways.

I can't relate to this at all. I'm an old veteran. I've been used and never given anything. Now I'm quite happy living a simple life and looking after myself.

For someone that spends a lot of money on clothes and shoes, the outfit she was wearing does not look fancy or expensive at all.

Awww, Shannon actually seems like a nice person. She’s one of the few people in severe debt whom I’ve seen on these shows that I actually feel kinda bad for. She’s not your typical selfish little Paris Hilton shopaholic, she actually cares about others & tries to just keep up with everyone around her. She seems to lack confidence and have a poor self-esteem about herself. She’s constantly comparing herself to those around her and never feels as good as them no matter what. I know it is to feel like the odd one out like this and just try to fit in with people. I used to feel insecure like this growing up and like I was always “keeping up with the Joneses.” Still feel that way from time to time even now. But I’ve learned that it’s important to be proud of who you are, be mindful of what you can or cannot afford, and not focus so much on what others are doing with their lives. Plus, the truth others around you most likely are struggling a lot more than you may think even if they make it seem like their life is perfect compacted to yours.

I've noticed a pattern, that many would probably label as obvious, but important to be aware of. The vast majority of extreme/excessive behaviour is result from some underlying issue. We try and cover up the problem that we don't want to face with eating or in this case spending, because it keeps us distracted from what we really should focus on and face. It's good to be aware of this, so if anyone feels like they're developing obsessive behaviour, maybe it's time to take a step back and ask why you're doing what you're doing and what are you trying to compensate with the behaviour.
