- Gail shows that being a princess has no gender barrier. Meet twenty-one year old Spencer. All of his $23,000 annual income working full time for a moving company goes to Spencer, whose shopping weaknesses include designer clothes, jewelry, eating out and partying. But his biggest indulgence may be his car. Although not an expensive car at $12,000 new which he bought on credit, he has put in all the bells and whistles, treating it much like it is his castle. His spending has caused a rift between him and three women who are closest to him in life. His girlfriend Morgan, who often has to pay for their excursions, feels that his spending gets in the way of spending quality time together. His grandmother, "nana" Sandy, has given Spencer money in the past for what she thought were his needs, but she is upset to learn they were for self-indulgences. And his relationship with his mother, Paula, with who he used to have a close bond, has all but disintegrated as Paula has her own financial stresses beyond Spencer. He has called her names in the heat of the moment that should not be repeated. Spencer currently lives with Paula, but that situation is only temporary as the house is on the market, which means that Spencer's rent-free days will come to an end whenever the house sells, which could be at any moment. His consumer debt currently sits at $23,000. Largely as a symbolic move, Gail wants Spencer to see that he probably truly does not want his car to be his castle. Associated, Spencer sees what housing options are available to him with his current income. She gets him to explore career options to make more money beyond minimum wage. And she wants him meaningfully to see the value in the people and relationships that have supported him. Gail's first status check with Spencer may be the defining moment in his process. She will also see if a testosterone laden princess is any different to deal with than an estrogen laden one.
