How I Lost All My Money | Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens/Kim Possible)

[TMC]

Cliffs:

• Basically, she "lost millions" and doesn't have the money earned while doing Kim Possible and Even Stevens.
• Didn't invest or buy a home.
• She originally was going to go to college and pay her tuition out of pocket, but she left school after about a year. That left her a lot of funding/savings that she didn't know how to manage.
• Christy bought a lot of design clothing and material items like luxury cars.
• Got caught up in a psychic who took a lot of money from her.
• She didn't realize that the money would stop because everyone told her she'd keep getting residuals.
• She did movies that she didn't want to do for money and felt very exploited.
• She used some of her money to help her parents out, like paying their mortgage.
• Christy also calls out the net worths we see online as completely inaccurate. She doesn't have a million dollars.

Anyway, Christy learned a lot of lessons, returned to school and now has student loan debt she's paying. She's a mother as well. She now understands assets vs. liabilities, how to invest and how to save.
