			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This movie deals with romance and shopping, not so much romance from the outset. As a young girl, she thought shop windows saw a perfect world of dreamy thing. Grown up girls getting whatever they wanted and equated them to fairies and princesses that did not need money. They had magic cards. Once she is a young adult on her own, she shops her way through life. Loses job. Finds job giving money advice in a magazine. Love interest on job.</p>
<p>Money Implications: I knew this would be a fun one for me to asses because of the title and my not being a shopper. </p>
<p>First:  Her mindset from her youth was as a shopper. This carried over into when she became an adult. </p>
<p><strong>Money Tip:</strong> If you are a shopper, you are shopper. You can learn to shop within balance. </p>
<p>Second:  This character had an excuse for everything she bought.</p>
<p><strong>Money Tip:</strong> Stop shopping on impulse. You should not have to make an excuse for the things you purchase. That already says you know you should not have purchased it. </p>
<p>Third:  This character stated she heard the mannequin calling out to her.</p>
<p><strong>Money Tip:</strong> If you are walking in the stores and you hear the voices saying, come and buy me. You can respond mentally and say it is not the appropriate time. I am not giving in and walk away. Leave without giving in. It may be a challenge at first but you can overcome impulse shopping and overspending. </p>
<p><strong>Overall Lesson</strong>:  This movie clearly shows how your upbringing and exposure does affect your choices when you become a young adult and as an adult.  </p>
<p><strong>Recommendation</strong>: Do not hide it from your spouse that you are a shopper. It will eventually come out if you try to keep it a secret and it might come out to your disadvantage.</p>
<p>If you have not seen this movie or know someone that it would make a great gift for, purchase your copy now:</p>
