In an interview with People magazine, Tori Spelling openly spoke about the financial crisis that has hit her family.
The actress and her husband Dean McDermott are actually so tight with money that they can’t afford Dean’s vasectomy that he had planned. The couple was warned by their business manager that the procedure was too expensive for them at the moment.
Tori told People: “We don’t have a series on the air right now, so we have to be more restrictive of what we can spend, just like anyone who doesn’t currently have a steady job.”
Reportedly she only inherited $800,000 from her TV producer, Aaron Spelling, who died in 2006. “I haven’t bought a purse in three years,” the actress admits. “And it’s fine. I look back on that girl who shopped at Gucci in my 20s and I can’t even relate. I can’t believe I thought it was important,” she adds.
Spelling and McDermott sold their luxurious Encino home and got a much more modest house in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley area. “It’s no mystery why I have money problems. I grew up rich beyond anyone’s dreams. I never knew anything else. Even when I try to embrace a simpler lifestyle I can’t seem to let go of my expensive tastes,” Tori explained.
The one, who has food to eat, will never understand a hungry man! The same here! Well, I won’t say they are poor or miserable. They still do it ok and I know people with less income, who had their vasectomy done. It is just the matter of where you spend the rest of the money that comes into your pocket. Maybe this family has to learn how to spare the money. I understand this can be difficult to change the taste you had all your life, but time changes.
