I'm sure I could afford to feed her.
Well good for her. At least unlike many celebrities she may not end up broke later on.
Little Sister of the Poor?
Is she from Scotland ?
Very smart.
I’ve often thought that if by some twist of fate I became a multi-millionaire, I’d put myself on an ‘allowance’ of about the same amount.
Invest the rest, and avoid foolish spending, though I admit, I’d be highly tempted to buy a Maserati Quattroporte; I’ve always liked the looks of them, though I confess I have no idea as to their reliability. :D
So that’s why she’s so skinny. Not enough money in the budget to keep her pantry stocked, I guess.
When the public records of Zooey Daschanel’s divorce were uncovered, it showed very thrifty spending habits for her as well.
I respect and admire people who have foresight to realize that saving and planning are important even when you could live a very luxurious life.
She controls her money, it doesn’t control her.
One has to like her for that attitude but be careful... it will suck you in slowly.
Some actors, even wealthy ones, worry that they’re not going to get any more roles and their income will dry up. And their worst nightmare is having to get a regular job and mingle with the rest of society as a failure. It’s a common malady amongst North Europeans.
Just an allowance. I wonder what it covers. Food, shelter, utilities, clothes, domestic help, travel, insurance, etc.?
I'm sure I could afford to feed her.
Uh huh. She and Hillary could hit some rummage sales together, maybe drop in at the thrift shop or pick up some groceries at the day-old store.
GOOD FOR HER..!
And no drugs, please. Maybe no booze, too.
Big deal ... Lindsay Lohan managed to live on $50K a day ...
Keira Knightley has most of her travel expenses paid for by the various studios. Many actors have homes paid for by the studios.
She lives in a mult million dollar home. I think she is saying 50k is what she spends outside of all the other expenses.
although not quite that frugal, Zooey Deschanel is still right up there and she's a good girl... 
Zooey was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for her role on the sitcom “New Girl.” Here are the basic details about her finances:
and that's not counting money made from her business, her band and movies...
There is no way that she lives on anything remotely like $50,000 per year. Monthly, perhaps.
What’s with all this propaganda that living poor is somehow “liberal cool”? Seems as people are suffering financially because of the liberal policies of Obama and the Democrats across this nation, they want to claim being poor is cool.
Keira is a lying sack of bones if she thinks we believe she lives on $50,0000 per year.
I’m a Southern California Coast, contractor, maintaining a 6.5 million dollar home is expensive, water, electricity, gas, contractors, landscapers, maids, pool men, visiting those homes during the work day is like visiting a small commercial business, the hustling and bustling seems to never stop.
Her $86,000 car would be costly to pay for and maintain as well, and she may own more than one vehicle.
Anyone care to guess what her grocery and wine bills look like, with organic this and that and Whole Foods Arugula, and the furnishings in her 6.5 million dollar home, inside and outside? The stuff and tools in her pool room and garages, pet maintenance, makeup, clothing, shoes, and the restaurant and order out, and entertainment and travel bills?
In her world, a $20.00 bill doesn’t go far, tips alone should be eating up a sizable chunk of $50,000, what about birthdays and Christmas for family, friends, and business and industry connections?
If I was a millionaire, $50,000 would just about cover my single-malt scotch expense.
