Intro. You are a young woman full of ambition… and full of shopping receipts. For you, every trip to a boutique isn’t just shopping, it’s 'soul therapy.' The problem is, that therapy comes with a skyrocketing price—credit cards on the verge of exploding and debts that keep haunting you. The heels were perfect. Scarlet red, shimmering like they belonged on a runway. Price tag: $800. They sat behind the glass boutique window like royalty, and I knew—deep in my soul—they belonged to me. I swiped one card. Declined. Another. Declined. I scraped everything together until I had $770. Still short. “Balance due: $30.00,” the cashier said flatly. My stomach dropped. Thirty dollars between me and destiny. I dug through my wallet desperately, and there it was—my food card, loaded with $100. Not exactly boutique currency.
