" Kim Kardashian Shares Her Money Story In This Essay – From Learning To Balance Her Chequebook To Running A Beauty Brand! "
She talks about everything from learning to balance her checkbook to running a beauty brand.
My mom’s really smart, so I love to call her for advice all the time. I think it would be such a great book for her to write — a money book. Anytime I have a question, she’ll say “Yes, that’s a good investment. No, don’t do that. Trust me, that’s stupid. Don’t do that.” If I wanted to buy a car or a piece of jewelry or something, back in the day she would just be like, “No, it’s not worth it.” She always tells me to buy real estate. I call the people that I respect and are super smart and get advice all the time. There’s a good family friend that I call every time I have an investment or I want to do something, and I get their opinion on it. I mean, I don’t think I can do it on my own. I’m not saying I know it all. But I definitely am a saver and more frugal.
I have a budget. I don’t talk about specifics — I find that to be tacky and just inappropriate. I don’t talk about like, oh, this is my budget, and this is my shopping budget and my living budget. But I know what I spend monthly and what it costs to run my household and what it costs to run this home. It’s hard all the time to stick within a budget, for sure, but I think it’s a good guideline. And I’m the type of personality where I’m like, okay, I really want to buy this, so I have to make this in order to be able to buy that for myself. So I’ll make it happen. I’ll say to my business managers, like, “Okay, I really want to get this, but I’ll do this work thing to clear that out and balance it out.”

I love having my makeup line and I hope to be doing that for a really long time, yes. As far as the TV show, I don’t know if I’ll be doing it in like 20 years or whatever. I mean, honestly, with our family it’s like never say never because you just don’t know. Right now, we’re in Season 14, and it’s so much fun and it’s so crazy, and we’ve had like maybe 10 spinoff seasons of other shows, so what’s that? Like 24 seasons of shows that we’ve just been filming over the last 10 years? I definitely see us going a little bit longer. There’s still an interest, so it’s like, why not? It’s always just fun to do.
I’ve always had that insane drive. Like if I want something bad enough, I always figure it out. Before I used to be just like, Oh it’s luck. But I have this drive inside of me where I’m just like, okay, this is the vision that I see for us and for the family, and let’s make it happen. I mean, I always want to win, and I’ve always been like that like from the start. Like, when I was like 11, 12 years old and The Real World came out, I told my best friend, “Oh I need to be on a reality show.” And I was like, “We’re going to sign up for The Real World.” And she was like, “Okay, well I’m not, but I’ll help you make your audition tape.” And I was like, that’s it.
