Sarah Jessica Parker used to get by on $40 for 3 days—it taught her there's 'security in being able to pay your bills'
Before the fame, fashion or multi-million dollar deals, "Sex and the City" actress Sarah Jessica Parker used to make $40 stretch for three days, she told podcast host Alex Cooper on a recent episode of "Call Her Daddy." When Parker moved out on her own at 18, she only had "a little money in the bank" from her role on the 1980s CBS sitcom "Square Pegs," she said. So, as she went out for auditions, uncertain of when the next big job would come, she would withdraw her money "very judiciously," she said — only allowing herself $40 around twice a week for her day-to-day expenses. Adjusting for inflation, $40 in 1983, when Parker was 18, would be around $132 today, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI inflation calculator. Although Parker said she was more driven in her early career by her desire to perform than by fame or money, she also acknowledged that financial stability mattered: "There's security in financial gain" and "security in being able to pay your bills," she said. While Parker's restrictive budgeting may have worked for her short-term, focusing on day-to-day spending isn't the most effective way to strategize and save as a freelancer, gig worker or artist today, says Christopher Haigh, CEO of Icono Capital, a financial advisory firm. "Budgeting for freelancers and gig workers shouldn't be about rationing pennies or envelope systems, it should be about building a system that absorbs volatility," Haigh says. "If you're relying on extreme budgeting methods to stay afloat, that's a sign your financial foundation is cracked." Even with unpredictable income, you can still develop sustainable budgeting strategies, Haigh says. Here's how to juggle those ups and downs and start shifting out of scarcity mode, according to a financial pro. The first step to building a budget is understanding what you're actually spending, Haigh says. In order to evaluate that amount, he says, take a close look at your last three months of expenses. Once you have a good idea of where your money is going on a consistent basis, you can stop guessing and start planning with real numbers, Haigh says. That's when you can start utilizing his "bucketing strategy," where you allocate percentages of your income into different "buckets" every time you earn money. As opposed to tiered budgeting, where you assign fixed dollar amounts to spending categories for every month, a bucket strategy divvies up your expenses by percentage of your income. That can provide flexibility for the fluctuations in income that freelancers, gig workers and artists often need to navigate, Haigh says. "Every time you make a dollar, it should be allocated to particular buckets no matter what," he says. The buckets for a freelancer or gig worker with minimal income should start out fairly basic, he says: Even if the amount you're putting into savings doesn't feel like much, developing good habits early can help you reach your goals later on, Haigh says. Using a budgeting app like Tiller, Monarch Money or Copilot can also help you automate those habits and take part of the load off your plate, he adds. And although it can be difficult to put money aside with inconsistent income, maintaining an emergency fund is especially important if you're likely to encounter weeks or months without work, Haigh says. He recommends freelancers or gig workers put away at least six months of basic living expenses, if possible, which is more than the three months he typically recommends for W-2 workers, he says. If putting away several months of savings isn't feasible for you, which is often the case for people with unstable income, the next step should be to open up options for growing your income, Haigh says. After all, he says, you can't budget your way out of scarcity. To help reduce financial stress, Haigh often advises his clients to take up part-time jobs or diversify the gigs they're pursuing, he says. While it's important to build muscle memory with directing income into your "savings bucket," your priority may need to be figuring out how to expand that income first, Haigh says.

Afterward, they faced off. In short, Till and Rockhold simply could not keep their hands off each other and had to be separated by security. The faceoff between Ferguson and Salt Papi right before that was chill. UFC legend Tony Ferguson squares off with Salt Papi at the first press conference for their Misfits Boxing match.🎥 @MisfitsBoxing Till, a former UFC welterweight title challenger, is 2-0 in two boxing matches this year. Rockhold, a former UFC middleweight champion, will make his boxing debut against Till after competing for BKFC in 2023 and Karate Combat in 2024.

‘To Be Raw, Right': Danielle Deadwyler Dishes On Rocking Her Natural Cornrows In '40 Acres'
Source: Mike Coppola/MG25 / Getty Danielle Deadwyler's captivating performances in films like The Harder They Fall, Till , and her most recent bad a** role — she plays Hailey in the dystopian thriller '40 Acres' — are proof that the award-nominated actress won't be placed into a box. While all of these characters are women with the charge to lead, protect, and prove, they're different in their own rights. Hailey Freeman, her partner, and kids are separated by the outside world by seemingly impenetrable defenses. Hailey is the matriarch of the family. As a unit, they tend to their crops while maintaining intense training sessions and utilizing the knowledge of their ancestors to live off the land. When their peace is interrupted by colonizers, they must fight back to protect their family. I caught up with Deadwyler during the press junket for R.T. Thorne-directed film. She talked about the freedom of being able to wear cornrows while filming the post-war flick, the invisible labor that Black women carry, and what reparations would look like now. 'To be raw, right?' she responds when I ask her about stripping down to her plaits to play Hailey. 'Who wants to have all the things on all the time?' She continued, 'There's a weight to that, and I'm interested in people who are in characters and women and figures that are just trying to be their most, their real selves.' Being able to be vulnerable and weightless is something she values. 'I think that's something that interest interests me because You know, we, we bear invisible weights very much, in, in our current place in the world, in our communities, the labor of black womanhood is something that's been, you know, critical in my artistic life from the performance art realm to film and TV realm, and so, We have, we deserve the ability to, to see on screen what you look like, what we feel like in our most natural state and so I love a good a good straight back.' She laughs while joking about feeling the air on her scalp. 'I just read this article in The Guardian the other day talking about how the tariffs are really impacting motherhood, really impacting the role of women, because economically, and then all that trickles down into everything that happens inside of the labor of a household.' 'The wellness and and the rearing of our children to the wellness of our family that extends to, you know, to thinking about this generation who's trying to caretake for the elder that is forthcoming in the family as well as caretake for the children and then how the hell do you caretake for yourself? For Deadwyler, self-care looks like 'quietude.' She called it a 'redeeming quality' of her 'self-recovery and wellness.' Paired with meditation and breathing. 'This is a moment that we really need to hone in on our breath. That's the thing that connects all human beings. Everybody needs that. That's the beginning of your day, that's the close of your day, that's the thing that connects you to the present. If we took a breath for all of the way there, how we engage with people, things would be very different. I know we stop and take a breath and a beat before we react, a lot of times we probably would be in a better place.' For me, 40 acres has always been synonymous with reparations. 'I've read the Ta-Nehisi Coates' article, and I think that reparations should come in myriad ways,' explained Deadwyler. 'Financial, educational, I think it's a dynamic, it's not a one-size-fits-all.' Catch Danielle Deadwyler in '40 Acres,' out now.

‘40 Acres' reinvigorates an old action genre with provocative new blood
'40 Acres' is a genre movie the way genre movies are supposed to be but rarely are. It invigorates an old premise with fresh ideas, layers well-crafted action with thematic richness, boasts committed performances and is so taut with tension that the audience might snap before the characters do. Best of all, it features the brilliant actress Danielle Deadwyler as a ferocious postapocalyptic Mother Courage. Deadwyler should have been Oscar-nominated for playing Emmett Till's mother in 'Till' (2022) and as the sister in 'The Piano Lesson' (2024); she's a stage-trained artist who brings riveting emotional authenticity to whatever she does, whether it's classy, like those two earlier movies, or mean and lowdown, like this new one.
