This is an article that I'd like to repost to keep my readers inspired, driven and mindful of keeping financial resources saved and secure. Some of the notes, I may change yet, it's still based on the original released by goodtipsforwealth.com.
We have seen so many celebrities who've risen up to fame but only a few maintain a habit of saving it for a future storm. For them, nothing's permanent most especially, earning a lot of money. Read away to get some smart tips from these mindful stars.
1. ZOOEY DESCHANEL
TV: New Girl
Movies: 500 Days of Summer
2. SARAH JESSICA PARKER
TV: Sex and the City
Movies: Sex and the City 1 & 2, How Does She Do It

William Shatner may not be in the public eye much beyond Priceline commercials are proof of what a smart investor he is. Priceline was a small startup that approached Shatner about doing radio spots. As the company grew they wanted Shatner to do television commercials but could not afford to pay him. Shatner believed in the company and offered to take stock in the company as his fee. His gamble certainly paid off.

TV: New Girl
Movies: 500 Days of Summer
Despite the fact that she plays a flaky free spirit on TV, Zooey Deschanel is one financial whiz. She saves 76% of her income and zero debt. She has well over a million dollars in the bank and even more invested. So the lesson from Zooey is to aim to save more than you spend.
2. SARAH JESSICA PARKER

TV: Sex and the City
Movies: Sex and the City 1 & 2, How Does She Do It
The light bulb eyed Sarah Jessica Parker came from humble beginnings and despite being wealthy, she wants her son to have that same mentality. In fact, her son wears only hand me downs from her older nephews. She prides herself on teaching her son that he owes something to the community and that he is not entitled to the money his parents earned. The lesson is to stay humble and save money even when you have plenty.

This one might be expected and yet the facts might not be. Sure Warren Buffet is famous for being well rich beyond your wildest dreams, but he certainly doesn't live like it. He lives in a very modest five bedroom home that he purchased for $30,000 forty years ago. He also buys used cars, nice cars but still used cars. So the key is that even if you are very rich you can save that money and find ways to do more good with it.
4. ASHTON KUTCHER
TV: MTV's Punk'd, That 70's Show
Movies: Spread, What Happens in Vegas
This jack of all trades may play goofy guys in TV and movies but he is a very smart investor. He has taken to investing in startups and his hunches are usually right. He is so good with investing that he now runs Grade-A investments. So if you have money just lying around, use it to make smart investments.

You might not expect someone with a net worth like Sarah Michelle Gellar to be much of a bargain shopper but this celebrity prefers to put her money toward charitable causes like Habitat for Humanity. She has been seen using coupons for her dry cleaning and shopping at department stores on double reward days. The key here is that even if you have money to pay full price, there is no reason to pass up a sale or a coupon when they are available.

Planning for retirement or the future is a good move to make, no matter how much money you have.
