'In that year, I made just about a million dollars — in that same year, I spent it...'
"I really regret not investing my money wisely — I didn't get a house. I didn't take any money and store it away," Christy began. Although she did start to attend college with some of the money to minimize her student debt, she left a year and a half in."I had this money at my disposal. I was never told how much money I was making, money didn't have a purpose for me. I didn't really know what it was; I just knew that I had it, and I didn't care about it.
In particular, Christy said that she was surrounded by people — including someone she was dating — who made her feel as if she wasn't good enough:"I felt like if I could just buy certain things, I would feel better, or if I just lived a certain lifestyle, I would be closer to that joy of feeling accepted and a lot less alone because I felt really dumb for not knowing about my money, and I never really made peace with that.
"When I was 21, I had a record deal. I had a book deal. In that year, I made just about a million dollars — in that same year, I spent it," Christy continued."It's really sad.""My biggest thing about child actors — you aren't told that the work is going to slow down. In fact, I was told the opposite, specifically by my mom, some of my team, even my money manager at the time. 'Oh don't worry, the residuals come; you're going to keep making money.
