Liverpool native Debra Powell's love of travel has brought her into debt, but that does not stop her planning her next foray abroad, financed by loans and credit cards. Her collection of designer jeans is also paid for using plastic. Parents Hilary and Harold are conscious they cannot keep bailing their daughter out and move in to tackle her monetary crisis.

I myself got involved into a credit card debt, maxed all 6 of them and could barely pay the minimum. Then I got a better job and better paycheck, skimp up a lot, and manage to clear up the debt one by one. Will be clearing up the last 2 cards sometime around this middle of the year, and I'm debt free...

It's too bad the Grandfather wasn't a bigger part of raising her. He is a wise man.

The daughter came to life when she was selling the cookies, & she was also incredibly successful. Entertaining people is what makes her happy.

I love the fact that the grand pa was given the opportunity to speak. GO GRAND PA!!

Omg, that mom & dad love their daughter so much. It just about brings tears to my eyes. And it's obvious she loves them too--she just takes them for granted right now, but sometimes all it takes is a little maturity to solve that.

The end result of the week the parents spent with their daughter and everyone's (including the lovely grandfather) was lovely to see. Deborah changed her life for the better and that was what was wanted by those who loved her and it was needed for her growth. Fantastic!

She acts like a girl that wasn't told "no" a whole lot as a child. I don't blame her as much as I blame her parents for not teaching her the hard lessons early in life.

How is it possible her clothes are so expensive? They don't even look nice, the mom looks more put together
@mariannestewart6215 4 years ago

She's never been taught manners,style,taste and responsibilities..by mum OR dad

I can tell you how to budget... Don't spend what you don't have. Bills come first.
