R.I.C.H.
Last week we watched a documentary titled Queen of Versailles. The documentary focused on the mother and wife Jackie. Jackie was different to say the least. Although she grew up more the poor side, she definitely took every advantage of being rich as an adult. The film portrays Jackie as a person wanting everything nice in the world. She has a 10 thousand dollar pair of shoes and a fur coat just as expensive. One scene that sticks out in my mind is when she is going to the store to buy gifts for her kids for Christmas. Jackie buys everything but in multiple copies. I know she has 8 kids, but each child does not need the same board game. Board games are meant to be played together not separately. I feel like she is wasteful. She was never supportive of the dad either , when he was trying to cut back spending when the market crashed in 2008 and it hit their family pretty hard. He was a little mean to her, pretty much an ass, but considering the stress he was under its understandable.

I do agree that Jackie, even though being aware of the family's financial situation, was ignorant to the fact that they could lose majority of their money. However, the husband didn't keep her up to date about their financial situation and their house, Versailles. She didn't supportive the husband, but I agree that he was being a jerk towards the end of the documentary and never really appreciated Jackie.
