I realize what it means to be financially comfortable, and I want to be that. But I'm lucky enough to be in that position. And I'm also careful. I save 38 percent of my earnings after expenses, before taxes.

It's nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don't care too much about money.
Financially I'm comfortable. But life has a lot more in store for me.
I'm in the lucky position financially where I don't have to do things I don't want to do.
I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having financial independence.
I save money when I'm working so that I never have to take a role simply to pay the bills.
I see good personal financial management as setting - and keeping - a budget.
For women especially, it's important to be financially independent.
People with financial plans are much more likely to feel prepared, even in tumultuous times. They're more likely to feel that their dreams and goals are secure. And, oh yes, they do actually save significantly more.
I'm lucky because my dad taught me to be frugal and save. And that's important because I want to know that I don't have to take an acting job for two or three years if I don't want to and that I'll still be able to make my house and car payments and buy food for my dogs.
I'm a wealth creator. I'm not interested in saving in the least. While I do spend a lot, I don't spend money like other billionaires. I'm probably quite unusual, albeit I do have some of the significant trappings. But I always try to make my assets work for a living.
