She considers her sports car with its vanity plates and her cats - now totaling six animals - the most important things in her life. Since the passing of their father thirteen years ago, John is the most important person in Rachel's life, he who she has relied on financially. Her reckless spending has already led to two failed serious relationships, John basically the only person left in her life, he who has yet to say no to her for any request for a couple of dollars here and there. Rachel used to have a $80,000 per annum job, to which she lived, but lost that job and earns only $29,000 per annum, but she still lives to her previous income. John only earns $35,000 per annum himself, and Rachel has tapped him out of his savings. Beyond the issue of coming up with a budget which will necessarily divest her of some of her valued material possessions and/or require her to double her income on a consistent basis, Gail provides her with some tools to show her that she doesn't need all her stuff, and to shift her priority from "stuff" to the people in her life, such as John.
