- Thirty-three year old Lee treats herself not so much like a princess as she does a queen, having an overall sense of entitlement. Working as a beauty consultant at an upscale department store (i.e. a high end shop girl), Lee walks the walk and talks the talk. She isn't averse not only to buying herself the expensive clothes and accessories that her customers have, but pampering herself in any conceivable way, including living in the swankiest part of town, Yorkville. She has surrounded herself largely with friends who admire her lifestyle. Her family - her mother Joanne, her father Brenden, and her sister June - see things differently, knowing that Lee is living far above her means as witnessed by the fact that her parents had to cosign a loan for her to get her out of a financial hole. Lee's job has been downscaled over the past two years, from $72,000 to $45,000, which she later learns is in large part due to her negative attitude. In addition, she is three years in arrears in filing her income taxes. Gail has to give Lee a sense of reality in that she is not a queen who can live with uncontrolled spending. Gail has to get attitudes to change by all, including such people like June, who has always had an "I told you so" attitude toward Lee's excesses, which do Lee no good. Some of Lee's spending has to dig deeper into such areas as housing, and if she can afford her current apartment, and if she can't and still wants to stay what that will cost in her life. Gail gives her a reality check on how other people with her income actually live. But it's Gail's final challenge that may show if Lee has truly learned the lessons of the past six weeks.
