Zooey Deschanel recently filed for divorce. For some reason her lawyer poster her financial information. As expected for a woman with her own hit TV series, her income is listed at $95K/month (probably will zoom by next year). Yet she spends only $22.5K per month (including a $4K mortgage). She also has $1.5M in the bank, and another $2.3M in assets. So she is not spending 75% of her income.
Her dining out expenses are listed as $500 per month. I guess beautiful women don't pay restaurant checks.
I have never met a woman who spends considerably less than she makes and has money in the bank. Never ever ever. Most women spend money to have the lifestyle that they think they deserve, which is only loosely related to the money they have.

If she spends $22.5K a month and $4K is for a mortgage,
what the heck is she spending $4.6K a week on? Thats
$650 a day!

I've always loved Zooey, ever since the indie film Mumford. Nothing she ever did changed my mind (Hitchhiker's Guide, the sci fi Oz remake called Tin Man, etc.) and then I saw those figures a month or so ago and knew she was indeed a unique woman. She even gave a great national anthem in Arlington this past year when my Rangers were in the World Series. Definitely one of my favorites, if not the most favorite, of Hollywood actresses.

I think that many women in her position spend $22.5K per month on clothes and shoes.
I am surprised that her lawyer didn't recommend that she pump those numbers up. She is divorcing a man who probably makes far less than she does.

Someday, joor goin' to see the name of Googie Gomez in lights and joor goin' to say to joorself, "Was that her?" and then joor goin' to answer to joorself, "That was her!" But you know somethin' mister? I was always her yuss nobody knows it! - Googie Gomez

How many women have you met who spend $270,000 a year, regardless of what they earn?
What I wonder is, if she has $1.5M in the bank and another $2.3M in other assets, why is she carrying a mortgage of $4000 a month? Why not just pay it off?

If the interest rate of your mortgage is less than your ROI on the same amount of cash in other investments, why would you pay off your mortgage, especially when mortgage interest on your primary residence is tax deductible?

If I were 10 years younger, I'd go out with her mother.

Carrying a mortgage is not a bad thing. Mortgages have penalties for paying them off early. She may have purchased the house before all of the money came rolling in.

Is this true in California? Is it true in Nevada? In New York banks are not allowed to penalize a homeowner for paying off his or her principal too soon.Quote: boymimboMortgages have penalties for paying them off early.

I mean't it to be sexist. It's a deeply troubling personal issue which ruins countless lives. I didn't say that there aren't men like that, as we all know MC Hammer went through $30 million in less than a decade in the early 90's. But the level of consumption by woman is frightening.

Branjolina have 6 kids now? I don't care if they're the best
behaved kids in the world, having that many little kids around
all the time is a major pain. Having that many teens is even
worse. Get out, Brad, while you still have your sanity..

Nah, it's probably all the hormones that go along with that.
