Jennifer is self-absorbed, spending on her whims, especially beauty treatments, shoes and black winter jackets. She doesn't have a high tolerance for anything she finds boring or that she doesn't like, which has resulted in a few jobs, lots of periods of unemployment (combined which resulted in a gross income of $8,000 this past year), and one ex-husband so far. She seems unphased by her money problems, she having been evicted from one apartment for unpaid rent. She moved in temporarily with her friend Jody and her husband, who ended up charging her nominal rent because she stayed so long, that rent on which she reneged. Her father used to subsidize her spending, but he passed away a year ago, that emotional void she fills by spending. Norah and E.J., her mother and brother, help her out whenever they can, Jennifer treating her mom like a personal maid. Jennifer is currently $22,000 in debt, largely because she has been able to hide from the collection agencies. Gail makes Jennifer: experience what it's like to have to do the dirtiest jobs without anyone's help; see what it would take to work toward a goal of being a personal trainer; see how she can better use the clothes she already possesses as opposed to always wanting to shop for more; give back meaningfully to those who have supported her emotionally and financially; and educate those who may be in the same position as she is.
