In short, Millie probably doesn’t have to worry about paying her bills anytime soon. However, during her recent appearance on “Call Her Daddy,” Millie explained that she is incredibly conscious of her finances, and gets so anxious about dropping large amounts of cash that she will call her parents for guidance. The topic came up when host Alex Cooper asked Millie who is “more likely to splurge on a big purchase,” and she immediately replied: “My husband.”

“I’ll be like: ‘Oh, I need socks,’ and he’ll be like: ‘Let’s go to Prada!’” Millie added. “And I’m like: ‘Let’s go to Target, like, what?!’ He’s just that kind of guy. He loves to go shopping; he will refuse to pack a suitcase because he likes to go shopping in the place we are going, whereas I’m like: Amazon basics. I love that.”

“Even when I do spend money on something, I have to call my parents,” she went on. “I have to think about it; I go back. I don’t just buy it right away.”

Alex then asked if Millie could remember anything she purchased that she was “stressed” about, and Millie said: “I bought a pair of Chanel sunglasses, and my parents were like: ‘You should buy them, you like them!’”

Explaining why she believes she does find it so hard to splurge, Millie then shared: “I really like to be transparent: I grew up with no money. Did not grow up with any money — we never owned a house, so I have, like, a money thing, where I get… I’m just very conscious about money, and my parents say it’s important for me to keep that, it’s just good to know about money and not splurge.”

However, the star did reveal that she was pleased to be able to buy her parents their first house once she made it big, with the family always renting in the past — and regularly losing their security deposits. She recalled: “I remember buying a house with my parents and being able to do that because, for the first time, we were able to actually not be scared about renting and the landlords.”

“Usually, the dog [would] shit on the carpet, and then we have to hide it from the landlords and all that,” Millie explained. “We’re a crazy family, so we usually always lost the deposit on a rental, so it was nice to just buy a house and be like: ‘Let’s paint the walls!’ It was really nice.”
