16 Celebrities Are Sharing The Most Valuable Financial Tips They've Ever Received (3 Are Game Changers!)

KELLY ROWLAND

For Kelly Rowland, she’s reminded that you shouldn’t go wild with big paychecks.

Recalling one moment, Kelly said that she spent $30,000 in less than 30 minutes while shopping at Bergdorf Goodman.

In an interview with InStyle, Kelly remembers blasting through the money: “I lost my mind—when it came to extra hair, fashion, I had to have everything. I remember just going completely nuts on trips to Paris and Italy, blowing like 30 grand in 30 minutes at Bergdorf Goodman. It was ridiculous.”

She went on, saying that going through such a large amount in a very short time was a wakeup call: “I started to realize that my AmEx bill was really, really high and I needed to chill out.”

“I remember so many people telling me that I needed to save my money and invest — but I didn’t listen,” she added. “When I got one of my first paychecks, I went to the grocery store and bought almost everything that my mom used to tell me was too expensive. I bought all of that sh**, had a party at my house, and everybody ate up everything. I’ll never forget it, because it was fun and it was something I was able to fund myself.”
