On September 20, 2019, 15-year-old teenager Nicolette Gray from California drew attention as she openly expressed her feelings after her mother, Nina Gray, drastically reduced her allowance.
Previously, Nicolette used to receive a generous allowance of $5,000 per month, but this was reduced to $1,000 after her mother became concerned about Nicolette’s tendency to accumulate large credit card debts.
The emotional climax of the story occurred when Nicolette, with tears, appeared on the popular TV show “Dr. Phil”, where she expressed her feelings of loss and confusion about the change in her lifestyle.
She compared her new financial situation to “living like a peasant,” a stark contrast to the luxurious lifestyle full of designer handbags and fashion accessories that she used to enjoy.
