As the book begins to start wrapping up we are still unable to really see the wonderful qualities in Jen. Her debt is beginging to overwhelm her and she thinks of no other options then to, "GET MARRIED" (200). Jen seems to really like her boyfriend of around five years but I'm not entirley sure it's because of his charm. He has lots of money and in her scheame to get cash Jen decides she is going to marry him. Personally I find this a very shallow and self-centered thing to do. Marry someone only becasue of thier money?? To me that is possibly one of the lowest things a person can do. By Jen deciding she is going to marry her boyfriend for his money again reveals to us how she is still stuck in that "money loving" phase that hopefully she will able to over come.
Jen time and time again gives insite to how materialisc she is. Though we are creeping closer and closer to the end of the memoir she is still showing this embarassing quality. When talking about the perfect things she wants for her wedding (which she is only having to get money, and paying for none of it) she states, "I hate stupid dresses. Hate stupid bridal shops. Hate stupid empolyees at bridal shops....Hate stupid weddings" (223). This quote reveals how although Jen has lost her money, and job, she is still materialisc which seems like a quatlity that I am hopelessly rooting for to change.
