Christy Carlson Romano is getting real about her journey to financial literacy.
Romano, who also voiced Kim Possible and starred in Disney Channel Original Movies, said she started making money with Disney when she was 16, but claimed that at that point, she was never told how much she was making, or advised on how to manage it.
While Romano did use some of her money to go to college, she dropped out a year and a half later . The actress said she wished she would have bought a house, or used her money in wise investments. Instead, Romano said that when she got control of her money, she used it on"big ticket items" at stores like Ralph Lauren, a psychic and a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon."I felt like if I could just buy certain things, I would feel better," she said.
"Over time, the value of money and the influence it had on me, it just got more and more complicated," Romano continued, adding that she ended up taking movie roles she"didn't want to do" because of the money. "Obviously, I'm OK now. I promise you I'm OK. I have made peace with this. But there are some realities that come to play," she expressed."The truth is that I did this movie for the money, because I was desperate to feel that feeling that I had when I was making tons of money and everything was OK."
