How I Met Your Mother: 10 Worst Things Lily Ever Did
5. Her Shopping Addiction, Debt (And Destroying Marshall's Dreams)
In the early seasons of How I Met Your Mother, Lily had extensive credit card debt because she was addicted to shopping. She also ruined a pricey wedding dress which added to the amount, all while trying to keep it a secret from Marshall.
Her solution out of it is to convince Marshall into a corporate job which he hates. Out of love, he reluctantly takes on the new role. And when she finds out how much this new positions pays, her initial reaction is to think of all the costly boots she could buy.
Marshall also suggests she sell some of her clothes to pay off their mortgage to which she is furious, even though she still expects him to do the same for his own possessions.
Worst of all, Lily’s credit card debt may have inadvertently put Marshall’s environmental law goals on hold because he had to take high-paying job at Goliath National Bank just to pay off their debt first.
