00:00:00
hello guys I'm Siobhan and I'm unlucky
00:00:03
before I tell you more please like And
00:00:05
subscribe to MSA I was born to a single
00:00:07
mother who worked tirelessly to make
00:00:09
ends meet and believe me they were
00:00:12
rarely met but even though we were
00:00:13
always drowning under a pile of bills my
00:00:16
mom was weirdly positive and she raised
00:00:19
me to be the same but I was just built
00:00:21
differently but they scored less than I
00:00:23
did and her parents got her an iPhone
00:00:25
why am I getting this rusty old model
00:00:28
because that's what we can afford and
00:00:30
these phones update with a new model
00:00:31
every month what's the point of wasting
00:00:33
money on something that won't even last
00:00:35
that long I tried to understand what mom
00:00:37
was saying but it didn't make any sense
00:00:39
to me I felt I was prettier and smarter
00:00:42
than most girls my age I got good grades
00:00:44
and never got into trouble so why
00:00:46
couldn't I have expensive things it
00:00:48
didn't seem fair as time went on I
00:00:50
realized that to live comfortably you
00:00:52
needed money lots of it and constantly
00:00:55
compared my life with kids around me
00:00:57
especially my best friend Fay what's the
00:01:00
big deal these two look exactly the same
00:01:02
but this fabric is so sticky and weird
00:01:05
this one however makes my eyes pop just
00:01:08
admit it you can't wear this because
00:01:10
it's cheap okay fine but what's so bad
00:01:13
about wanting better things and it's not
00:01:15
like I'm going to buy this not everyone
00:01:17
is lucky enough to be born with money
00:01:19
I'll never understand why you're so
00:01:21
obsessed with money you could be the
00:01:22
richest person on the planet but if
00:01:24
you're not a good person no one is going
00:01:26
to stick around you can say that because
00:01:28
you are rich and when I When I grow
00:01:30
older I will marry someone rich and then
00:01:32
I'll never have to think about money
00:01:34
either not funny anyway stop making that
00:01:36
sad face I'm buying this for you but you
00:01:38
have to treat me to some of your mom's
00:01:40
fruit custard later okay I loved faay
00:01:42
we've been together since kindergarten
00:01:44
and even though she was richer than I
00:01:46
was she never treated me any differently
00:01:48
she even had an older brother Freddy who
00:01:50
I always thought had a little crush on
00:01:52
me every time I would visit Fay Freddy
00:01:54
would start running around me doing
00:01:56
silly things so Shaban are you into
00:01:59
music a little awesome Freddy ran
00:02:02
outside and came back with a small Casio
00:02:05
he started playing and it was like
00:02:06
someone had murdered my eardrums it was
00:02:09
horrible so what do you think it was
00:02:12
awful Le amazing this is so good people
00:02:15
don't deserve to hear this I mean it's
00:02:17
so good it won't be fair to other
00:02:19
musical genres right you should keep
00:02:20
this beautiful Talent hidden you know
00:02:22
what I mean I guess so yeah Freddy was a
00:02:26
bit slow but he was sweet and when he
00:02:28
asked me out for prom like could break
00:02:30
his heart he was fa's brother and she'd
00:02:32
always been so nice to me this was the
00:02:34
least I could do but prom was right
00:02:36
around the corner and I had nothing to
00:02:38
wear I asked Mom to get me a new dress
00:02:40
but as always we were out of money so
00:02:43
she offered to give me her old dress the
00:02:45
slaves are so old and the Train's full
00:02:47
of stains can we just buy a new one
00:02:50
please you already know my answer but
00:02:52
it's prom everyone will be dressed in
00:02:54
beautiful gowns and dresses I don't want
00:02:56
to stand out like a sore thumb in this
00:02:58
ugly gown the hurt look on my mom's face
00:03:01
instantly made me regret my words but
00:03:03
before I could apologize she got on a
00:03:05
phone call and left I wanted to do
00:03:07
something nice for her so I used up all
00:03:09
my money to get her a bouquet and even
00:03:10
bought myself a new prom dress on the
00:03:12
night of the prom I looked like a total
00:03:15
vision and when Freddy came to pick me
00:03:17
up ke was blown away he couldn't stop
00:03:20
complimenting me and we were on the
00:03:21
dance floor when he took a gold bracelet
00:03:23
out of his pocket I saw this and I was
00:03:26
instantly reminded of you Freddy it's
00:03:28
beautiful but I can't accept it why not
00:03:31
I even got it engraved for you I've
00:03:33
always thought you and I have had a
00:03:35
connection in fact there's something I
00:03:38
want did you hear that what someone's
00:03:40
calling my name I'll be right back but I
00:03:43
and I just ran away before Freddy could
00:03:44
say another word I knew he was going to
00:03:46
confess his feelings for me and I had no
00:03:48
plans of saying yes I was catching my
00:03:51
breath next to the washroom when this
00:03:52
guy from my class Hank approached me hey
00:03:55
there pretty face what are you doing
00:03:57
standing alone like this waiting for my
00:03:58
date actually you mean the guy you were
00:04:01
dancing with I saw you too and trust me
00:04:03
there was no spark you deserve someone
00:04:06
who knows how to treat you well someone
00:04:08
like me so what do you say we ditch this
00:04:11
dumb prom and go somewhere better I
00:04:14
thought about it I couldn't go back to
00:04:15
Freddy after blowing up his proposal in
00:04:17
his face so I dropped him a text saying
00:04:19
I wasn't feeling well and left with Hank
00:04:22
he took me to this mad party at some
00:04:24
Mansion outside the city that really
00:04:26
helps me take my mind off things I
00:04:28
thought I'd talk to Fay the next morning
00:04:29
but when when I got back home I saw her
00:04:31
sitting on the porch F I can explain
00:04:33
explain what that you ditched my brother
00:04:35
for that shady Hank Freddy and I saw you
00:04:38
leave with him so don't you dare lie to
00:04:40
me yes I went with Hank but Freddy was
00:04:42
about to confess his feelings for me and
00:04:44
I panicked he caught me off guard oh
00:04:46
please you've always known that Freddy
00:04:48
likes you you ditched him because Hank
00:04:50
is richer than us right that's what you
00:04:52
really think what else am I supposed to
00:04:53
think you've always been immature and
00:04:55
materialistic but at least you had a
00:04:57
good heart but tonight you just cross a
00:05:00
whole new line don't you ever talk to me
00:05:02
again Fay please but Fay was already on
00:05:05
her way out over the next few days I
00:05:07
dropped her a million texts but she
00:05:09
never responded a week later during
00:05:11
graduation when I tried talking to her
00:05:13
she totally shut me down I get that she
00:05:16
was upset but she made me the bad guy
00:05:18
for not loving someone the way they love
00:05:20
me and that wasn't fair so as much as I
00:05:22
missed Fay I decided to take a step back
00:05:25
and over time we grew apart she left for
00:05:28
college and I picked up a job as a
00:05:29
concierge at the fanciest hotel in town
00:05:32
working at the hotel I met all kinds of
00:05:34
rich people and some of them even became
00:05:36
my friends but my favorite was Jenny her
00:05:39
dad was a rich industrialist and she
00:05:41
studied at Harvard and whenever she
00:05:43
visited home with friends she asked me
00:05:45
to come along too you won't believe what
00:05:48
Dad did to me I asked him to take me
00:05:50
skiing to the Swiss elps and he refused
00:05:52
because he wants to take his mistress to
00:05:54
Bora Bora the last time I was there this
00:05:57
Beast stung me and I had to be in the
00:05:58
hospital for a whole week they didn't
00:06:00
even have caviar there and I had to eat
00:06:02
hospital food can you imagine at least
00:06:05
you're going on vacation my mom's
00:06:07
getting married in Paris next week so
00:06:09
now I have to plan my outfits makeup
00:06:12
hair everything and I have no time so
00:06:14
unfair GH get a grip you two there are
00:06:17
more important things in life than
00:06:19
vacations and dresses easy for you to
00:06:22
say your life is perfect you're in the
00:06:24
best school in the country and your dad
00:06:26
just acquired his H hundredth company
00:06:29
yeah yeah whatever just quit crying
00:06:31
you've bored Siobhan to death at first
00:06:33
it felt nice to be part of Jenny's
00:06:35
Circle but the more I hung out with them
00:06:37
the worse I felt about my situation like
00:06:39
this one time someone from the group
00:06:41
wanted to try food at this expensive
00:06:43
place I didn't have the money to pitch
00:06:45
in so Jenny chipped in on my behalf
00:06:47
another time the girls wanted to go to
00:06:49
Korea for shopping I thought it was a
00:06:51
joke so I agreed but they were serious I
00:06:54
couldn't even afford to pay for tickets
00:06:56
but Jenny made sure I didn't have to
00:06:58
worry about that I felt like a charity
00:07:00
case around them so one day when Jenny
00:07:02
suggested we go shopping I decided not
00:07:04
to go but why is it about money you know
00:07:07
I can always cover up for you I know and
00:07:09
I'm really thankful for that but I don't
00:07:11
want your friends to think I'm taking
00:07:12
advantage of you okay firstly those
00:07:15
girls are not my friends yeah we hang
00:07:17
out but they don't know the first thing
00:07:19
about being smart I'd rather be with
00:07:21
someone who values hard work like you
00:07:23
you really mean it of course I do now
00:07:25
can you come please I'll get you
00:07:27
something nice Jenny reminded me of f a
00:07:29
lot and as time passed we only got
00:07:31
closer then one day Jenny was working
00:07:34
with her dad on some important project
00:07:36
she knew I was good with numbers so she
00:07:38
asked for my help I was sorting out some
00:07:40
paperwork when I saw these documents
00:07:42
that didn't make sense mathematically uh
00:07:45
who made these papers my accountant why
00:07:48
I think he's trying to scam you Jenny
00:07:50
took the papers from my hand and when
00:07:51
she saw that I was right she was Furious
00:07:54
the accountant was called in and he
00:07:56
confessed to transferring money to
00:07:58
Jenny's stepmom's account over or sees
00:08:00
he was fired the Stepmom was thrown out
00:08:02
of the house it was a huge mess I
00:08:04
thought Jenny would hold me responsible
00:08:05
for breaking up her family but instead
00:08:08
she offered me a job as her personal
00:08:10
manager I was making triple the amount I
00:08:13
was making at the hotel and I was really
00:08:15
happy but when I told Mom she didn't
00:08:17
look too happy I think you should go to
00:08:19
college Siobhan you're a smart girl and
00:08:21
you're wasting your life I'm doing this
00:08:23
for us mom I want to make more money so
00:08:25
you and I can finally live the life we
00:08:28
deserve but I happy with where we are I
00:08:30
don't want anything more but I do I
00:08:33
don't want to go to college I don't have
00:08:35
3 years to waste on education then wait
00:08:37
for a job and then wait to finally get
00:08:39
rich I want to get rich now money isn't
00:08:42
everything Siobhan when will you realize
00:08:45
that Mom tried her best to persuade me
00:08:47
but my mind was set and a week later I
00:08:49
started my new job working with Jenny
00:08:52
was like a dream come true she was
00:08:54
constantly getting invited to Global
00:08:56
events and I got to travel the world
00:08:58
with her soon after Jenny joined her dad
00:09:00
full time and gave me an office right
00:09:02
next to hers life was finally getting
00:09:05
better until one day I was in my office
00:09:08
when this cute millionaire Carl knocked
00:09:10
on my door asking for Jenny she wasn't
00:09:12
around so I asked him to wait in my
00:09:14
office we got talking and he ended up
00:09:16
inviting me to this fundraiser but I had
00:09:18
nothing to wear so I begged Jenny to
00:09:20
help me and she gave me the keys to her
00:09:23
closet I was trying on a dress when my
00:09:25
eyes fell on this gorgeous diamond
00:09:27
necklace I tried it on and I never
00:09:30
looked so pretty in my entire life I
00:09:32
really wanted to wear it but I wasn't
00:09:34
sure if Jenny would be okay with it
00:09:36
since she wouldn't be back until the
00:09:37
next morning I figured I could just put
00:09:39
it back before she found out I really
00:09:41
wanted to make a good impression on Carl
00:09:43
so I gave into my Temptation and wore
00:09:45
the necklace that evening I outshone
00:09:47
everyone even Carl couldn't resist
00:09:49
showing me off I was pretty sure he was
00:09:51
going to ask me out on a second date
00:09:53
until I heard him talking to his friends
00:09:55
so who's the new catch she looks
00:09:58
expensive she's just a secretary I
00:10:00
actually want to get to know her boss
00:10:02
Jenny she's the real catch I figured if
00:10:05
I got close enough to the secretary she
00:10:07
would introduce me to Jenny at some
00:10:08
point and then I'll make my move you're
00:10:11
such a brat Yeah Carl what a brat Carl
00:10:14
turned around to look at me in shock I
00:10:16
thought you were a nice guy Carl but
00:10:18
you're a greedy Little Pig please spare
00:10:21
me the dramatics it's not like you came
00:10:23
with me out of the goodness of your
00:10:24
heart you thought I was rich so you
00:10:26
tagged along just like I saw an
00:10:28
opportunity so I did what I had to oh
00:10:31
sweet so you won't mind if I do what I
00:10:34
have to and I splashed my drink in his
00:10:36
face and walked away what a I was
00:10:39
so angry I kept walking till I realized
00:10:41
I no longer recognized the street I
00:10:43
turned around to leave when suddenly two
00:10:45
men jumped out of nowhere and blocked my
00:10:47
way I panicked and ran but they were too
00:10:49
fast one of them pushed me and the other
00:10:52
snatched the necklace from my neck and
00:10:53
ran away I screamed and howled but no
00:10:56
one came to my rescue I thought of going
00:10:58
to the police Poli and complaining but
00:11:00
then Jenny would find out that I'd taken
00:11:02
the necklace without her permission and
00:11:03
I couldn't go to her place either I
00:11:05
somehow made my way back home and when I
00:11:07
saw mom I immediately broke down and
00:11:10
told her everything I'm so sorry Mom you
00:11:12
kept showing me the right way and I kept
00:11:15
ignoring you and now I've landed all of
00:11:17
us in this mess I'm just glad you're
00:11:20
okay Siobhan and don't worry about that
00:11:22
necklace I'm sure we can work something
00:11:24
out my mom calmed me down and the next
00:11:26
day we went to the bank and took out a
00:11:28
huge loan against our house luckily I
00:11:30
managed to replace the necklace and
00:11:32
dress without Jenny knowing anything and
00:11:34
then I just put my resignation down
00:11:36
Jenny was a bit shocked but I told her
00:11:38
I'd gotten into a good college and
00:11:39
wanted to continue my education and soon
00:11:42
after Mom and I left town years passed
00:11:44
and my life went from bad to worse I did
00:11:47
waitressing in the morning babysitting
00:11:49
in the evening and even taught at a
00:11:51
local school even mom picked up two
00:11:53
shifts at work but we still couldn't
00:11:55
make enough money to repay the loan
00:11:57
every night I would sit in my room and
00:11:59
think how I'd wasted the best years of
00:12:01
my life running after money even if I
00:12:03
didn't have much back then my life was
00:12:05
simpler and I had people who loved me
00:12:08
then one day I was working at the cafe
00:12:10
when I saw Jenny and all my old friends
00:12:12
at one of the tables Siobhan oh my God
00:12:15
is that you how have you been I wanted
00:12:17
to say something but all I could do was
00:12:19
cry Jenny set me down and I just spat
00:12:22
out everything that's why you quit your
00:12:24
job that necklace was a knockoff Siobhan
00:12:26
it hardly cost $200 what what why would
00:12:29
you keep a knockoff you're rich aren't
00:12:31
rich people supposed to wear only
00:12:33
original stuff who made that rule being
00:12:36
rich doesn't mean I'd waste money on
00:12:37
flashy things like jewelry you should
00:12:39
have told me the truth you think I don't
00:12:42
know that God I feel like such an idiot
00:12:44
I just wanted to look rich for one night
00:12:46
and it cost me my entire life God how
00:12:49
will I face mom now will it help if I
00:12:51
come along Jenny and I told Mom
00:12:53
everything and while she was angry for a
00:12:56
long time she eventually forgave me
00:12:58
Jenny even gave me back the necklace and
00:13:00
I sold it off to pay the loan with the
00:13:02
rest of the money mom and I rented a
00:13:04
small apartment in the city and I
00:13:06
started preparing for college again on
00:13:08
my first day I was running around the
00:13:10
place searching for my class when I
00:13:11
barged right into this tall boy he
00:13:14
turned around and I was shocked to see
00:13:16
it was Freddy he smiled at me and I knew
00:13:19
it was time to fix my mistakes
00:13:24
