text to world:
i think that this novel relates to the world because people struggle with addictions to shopping and spending money and they can also struggle with saving and budgeting their money, although this book contains serious topics it also makes light of the topic by the characters attitude towards her new found love of this book about managing your money, she tries so hard to follow the given rules but she always seems to find a loophole in which she can spend money stupidly on materialistic items.

text to text:
this novel has connections to books such as pretty little liars because the girls always spend their money frivolously on items they will probably forget about in a couple of chapters, it seems like the characters never run out of money like other people in the real world who do have bills to pay and credit card loans to pay off or the government will send them countless letters.

text to self;
this relates to me because i tend to spend tons of money on things i most likely don't need, i am always being told to manage my money but i just cant seem to follow through with any set plan that i make for myself, i always find myself spending more and more on pointless things that aren't necessary for me to purchase
