Nicolette Gray, a 15-year-old teenager from California, drew a lot of attention on September 20, 2019, when she openly discussed her feelings following her mother, Nina Gray, dramatically reducing her allowance.
Previously, Nicolette used to receive a generous monthly allowance of $5,000, 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, tears in her eyes, appeared on the popular television show “Dr. Phil,” where she expressed her feelings of loss and incomprehension 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 she used to enjoy.
