One of the best things my family ever did was sit down and make a family budget. I think too often children are left in the dark about how much things really cost. I think seeing the financial reality of her parents was exactly what was needed. I loved this episode.
Yeah, I make my own budget but I think I'm going to sit down with my kids and do a family budget. Even though I'm the only one working but they're teens, old enough to get jobs. I think of they realize how much I spend every month it'll put more of a fire under them to complete their online high school and start learning some skills
Sadly we didn't have enough when I was a child so I learned this because we didn't have enough for food so I learned to look for food deals even back then. And ways to save and make money to help support the family
It could also be, parents don’t share not just because they are too afraid of gossip. But they are too prideful arrogant condescending ashamed or narcissistic to even share a bit. They just want obedient robots like that. My ignorant and dumb Asian family was like that
@@katemiller7874 but how will they learn. And you share what is age appropriate. Unless they are too prideful arrogant condescending ashamed or narcissistic to even share a bit. They just want obedient robots like that. My ignorant and dumb Asian family was like that
The best thing my parents ever did for my sister and I was being so transparent about money, income, expenses, retirement, how much our private primary education cost. I will do the same with my daughter
I think a lot of what helped her have the right attitude is having a very big dream that she truly wants to achieve. It was nice that they included her family so much, too, like having her open the savings accounts and budget with her parents. I hope she's doing well.
My parents didn't communicate well and we rarely had these conversations. There was a lot of screaming and fighting and blaming and violence, I love to see it and I hope to do same with my kids.

I am terrible with technology so my daughter put an ad blocker because the ads were driving me crazy !! I don't know how to disable it, so I leave it on all the time. LOL
It amazes me how many people live in condos and pay condo fees to me a condo is just a glorified apartment. I bought a standalone home with a fixed mortgage and paid it off in 14 years my real estate taxes and house insurance is very manageable
Indeed. My experienced yoga teacher offers classes through city parks and rec centers, fitness centers, etc. I'm sure she pays a fee to use the facilities but it is much less than opening her own studio.
I really see myself in a lot of these episodes as I think I was slightly spoiled when I was younger. My father was quite wealthy because of his very hard work during his younger years, and he always said yes to me for too many things sometimes. And I took advantage of that. I was also not allowed to ask about our finances as it was frowned upon in our culture, as a form of disrespect. And when I asked for help with finances, it was also frowned upon. I often did not have to do any chores as well. Thankfully, I had a bit of a streak of independence and didn't like asking for money as I got older as I found it embarrassing. I also didn't like my family cleaning up my room as I also found that to be an invasion of privacy, however I do think I could have done more to help out around the home than just doing dishes. I did enjoy cooking for my family as that was an activity I naturally enjoyed. But to this day, I have a bit of a crappy attitude around cleaning and don't enjoy it - I'm working on that as I would love it if my home was more clean. Also, I still have a hard time at 35 to make enough money to contribute equally to my husband. In the past, my family has given me money here and there as they knew I was not earning much past minimum wage, but now they are not in a financial position to do so, I realised I relied on these generous gifts a little too much in the past. Now I need to work on a plan to earn more and earn my independence back, and to contribute proudly to our home expenses, as I currently only pay for the utilities. I often feel embarrassed when I am unable to contribute 50% of our total housing expenses, or when my husband has to pay for more of our trips or dates than I do, or when he offers to buy me clothes because I barely have a budget for that. I'm hopeful that I can earn more in the future, and also have a successful business too.
Believe me, even for the time and the area, that rent was a joke and the parents were just trying to teach their daughter a lesson that clearly wasn’t working!
They are usually good women deep down but I have seen a few that I thought were terrible people that will never change. I looked this up, Ashley C (not this Ashley) and a woman named Nina ep 16 & 30. Gail didn't give them anything, so you know they were really bad. I love these shows and although they are from many years ago, there is still a lot they can teach us.❤

Children shouldn’t worry about the family finances. Their job is to do well in school so they get to college

Rarely do I see that these people have truly changed, but this one I believe has. She has a great attitude, she will go far.
This was one of, if not my favorite episodes. Her attitude and change was *really great and genuine* She was open to everything.
Her Mom's eyes are breathtaking!
She is so cute, has the most precious smile! I hope she and Mike and her whole family are doing exceptionally well.
Like a young Janet Jackson. Hope they’re doing well!
She is adorable. That’s how she gets her way tho.
I hope they all are doing well in their lives. She was one of the few who actually took the teaching to heart.

Did you not worry about money. Usually kids will internalize parental money issues. Grades can suffer
I hope she used the money to pay down that student loan. Her parents need that loan gone to help their other children.
She reminds me of young Janet Jackson. God bless her & her family!
This episode shows how important it is to have an emergency fund. Her parents would have had it so much easier had they had some emergency savings.
I think a lot of what helped her have the right attitude is having a very big dream that she truly wants to achieve. It was nice that they included her family so much, too, like having her open the savings accounts and budget with her parents. I hope she's doing well.
A rare likable princess! 👑
I liked this one and hope the best outcome for this young lady.
This show has so much good advice that I didn't even know.
Made a refreshing change to see a participant who wanted to change and did change. Good job Gorl!

She matured 20 years - I’m sure she is doing well now
She had a lovely smile
Love them all which is very very rare on Gayle's shows. This episode was a pleasure to watch. I hope they are all living happily ever after. ❤
What a beautiful girl and so is her sis and her mum has the most beautiful eyes im so glad she wised up hope they are all doing well
Ashley has wonderful, kind parents ❤️
Ironically, I got multiple ads for Shopify while watching this 😂
I am terrible with technology so my daughter put an ad blocker because the ads were driving me crazy !! I don't know how to disable it, so I leave it on all the time. LOL
Finance aside I admire these people, how do eat out 5 days a week and not be 5ft wide? Impressive.
She’s not skinny
@@katemiller7874 Surprising, considering how often she does yoga.
$200 a month is a micro drop!
That boyfiend is so sweet, totally smitten with her and I can see why! She did a great job.
Happy ending. Very good work Gail!
They seem like a very nice family.
Man, there are at least 4 ashleys on this show.
By far my favorite episode! Ashley could be a buyer of yoga attire and have a profitable business.
If Ashley can spend thousands of dollars on clothes; she can afford to pay her parents $200 a month for rent.
I got cut off at 25 and it was the best gift I ever got. I get a little perks here and there from mom and dad but I pay it back in a timely manner.
I didn’t hold out a lot of hope for her but she really stepped up to the plate!

Sometimes you can't get enough for a house.
Some people enjoy living downtown or places without standalone homes.
This is a metro community. Housing is very expensive.
Outside Yoga.... 😆 You can do yoga anywhere.

She did well.
She really was moved from the beginning already. She worked with her family and friends not against them.
Still learning how to portion size what a snot that chick was. She did great
Why do these men even think "I love her so much"? What is there to love?
Not everyone cares about money. Love is what’s important.
WHen I was 18 I lived on my own made 300.00 a month and saved 1,000.00 over 2 years
Really? You must be 200 years old.
it's no wonder why a she's the way she is with 3 enablers. especially the mom.
she can’t pay 200$ for rent I live in New York and pay 4200$ for a 1 bed room !!!!
You should leave the city immediately unless that is something you can afford
Believe me, even for the time and the area, that rent was a joke and the parents were just trying to teach their daughter a lesson that clearly wasn’t working!
You are crazy and New York is a cesspool
These parents are total pushovers. You need to have your basic needs met first. 🏠🚘🥗. Then you can spend some of the money left on wants. 🛍️✈️💳.
Try going to a 2 year community college and then transfer to a university.
All of these Processes are nice women, they just needed direction and a wake up call!

Call me judgemental but WHY does it take an episode of PRINCESS to shake things up and change these attitudes?
The bf looks a decade older than the princess.
Ya after taking care of her
I think her bf is gay 🤷
No he’s just a nice guy
