As someone whose parents were always broke despite working full-time, and then divorced and declared bankruptcy.... I feel this in my bones. Money was a constant struggle for so much of my life that once it finally wasn't, it was a huge relief and weight off my shoulders. But at the same time, I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop, so I am very careful with what we have, and know that it goes quick if you're not smart with it. Seeing people drop tons of money on super expensive cars and designer bags and stuff - absolutely their prerogative, but I just cannot rationalize spending money like that.
Fame doesn't last forever. You make one wrong move, [and] it's gone.
Can't relate to this bit, but I do think it's a great attitude for her to have, especially for young female starlets. This industry chews women up and spits them out at an alarming rate.
And ugh re: the assholes in bushes near her property, that shit should be illegal.

i like following that sub but IA. Even if i think of (some of) those bags as investments, i'd be far too nervous something would happen to them and the money would be wasted.
Not to mention even most designer bags seem to be made in unethical conditions.

One day the bank announced they were kicking us out and auctioning the house. When I went to university I almost got kicked out because he lied about sending money for the fees. He was borrowing money from people and telling lies (like my mum had cancer - she didn’t) to get advances on his pay. Lawyers would contact us about things we had no idea about. Our car broke down and we ordered a new one but he never sent the money for it, so we had to dodge calls about it and eventually they just sold it on and we ended up renting cars instead.
We lived in a foreign country and he lived overseas in another, so teenage me who was eldest daughter and spoke the language most fluently ended up being at the forefront of a lot of conversations that kids shouldn’t have to deal with.
It was a weird and chaotic upbringing. Like I feel like I can’t moan about it because I got good things out of it, but in retrospect I felt very insecure and unsafe growing up. Like never knowing if people would come knocking for money. Or if we’d always have a roof over our head, or money for groceries. Mum would scream at him over Skype calls about lying. My sister was always so upset and going through her own stuff and an ED.
So yeah I’m also kind of anxious about money. But in an aversion way, like thinking about it stresses me out. I don’t feel like I can trust the permanence of money or financial things. The idea of getting a mortgage made me so scared. Luckily my husband is great and so good at dealing with these things, but if I wasn’t with him I’d still be renting a place on my own somewhere I think.
Anyway. Sorry for the rant in reply to your comment. All that to say I get how you feel in a way.
