Far to often we see stars who have squandered their fortunes and are now bankrupt. Its nice to know that not all celebrities let it go to their heads, and still try to be responsible with their money.

I think it’s MUCH harder to control yourself when you have limitless money then people think. Look at what happens to people that win the lottery…they wind up screwing up their lives.

Its nice to hear that not everyone in Hollywood spends there money just as fast as its coming in. Realisitcally Sarah must have a fair amount of money but choosing not to squander it for no reason is commendable. I especially liked the fact that she agreed to the interview if she was able to plug her charity of choice. Very refreshing.

“just made me throw up in my mouth a little.”
Off topic, but where did this phrase come from? I hear it everywhere now. (well, not everywhere, but often enough to have noticed)

On topic, it is really nice to read something like this, showing that some celebrities do know how to handle their finances.

Its really great to know that celebrities like Sarah knows how to handle her earnings. It will be interesting to hear about celebrities on both ends of the frugality spectrum, especially after the news detailing Britany Spears’ financial exploits.

At least one actress that knows how to handle all the money. I’m sick and tired about reading all the decadent things from Paris and Britney. Refreshing to read a story like this :)

Celebrities and money… we just did some coverage on that today on our blog, too. Check it out, here:

Always thought Sarah Michelle sounded pretty down-to-earth.

I think the idea of a celebrity finance series is a great one. It will be interesting to hear about celebrities on both ends of the frugality spectrum, especially after the news detailing Britany Spears’ financial exploits.

It’s great to see this kind of thingâ€”real people can relate to this stuff.

Well SMG in Scooby Doo as Daphne pretty much plays the same character as Buffy. I did catch the most recent film and she talked the same way and through a few martial art kicks that I wouldn’t have expected from Daphne.

Since celebrities are supposed to be role models for some people, I think that SMG’s story should be publicized much more than Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. If SMG really lives like that I am amazed by that :-)
But I guess a modest upbringing leave a scar on people for the rest of their lives, no matter how rich they end up later..

Unfortunately for her, I have a hard time distinguishing her from Buffy—the only other role I can remember seeing her in was Cruel Intentions.

Sounds like she has pretty decent habits. I wonder how stardom will work out for her as she grows older.

Being a big NBA fan, I’ve been following the financial demise of Latrell Sprewell: http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/39700

After turning down a $21 million three year deal in 2004 (remember “I have to feed my family”), seems Latrell is having some issues including repo of his yacht and foreclosure on his house.

At the time I kind of respected Latrell; if playing ball doesn’t drive you, don’t go through the motions just to collect a paycheck. Seems the millions he earned didn’t quite last a lifetime.

This has to be true. You’ve seen the types of stories that magazines make up…it would have been much more dazzling if it had be created.

It is good to see that not all stars who made it big in Hollywood at a young age are completely out of touch.

Thanks for sharing the article. She seems down to earth in interviews. Good to here something positive from a young celebrity.
