When Zooey Deschanel filed for divorce from her husband Ben Gibbard, her monthly budget was accidently made public.

While the “New Girl” actress certainly may not have been happy with this mistake, this mishap gave us the rare glimpse of a major celebrity who maintains responsible spending habits.

While she had three credits, they all carried a $0 balance, and her monthly expenses only equaled around 25% of her monthly income.

It was revealed that her income was roughly $95,000 a month, while her expenses were only $22,500 per month.

In addition to her responsible spending habits, Zooey also has mixed assets that make her any financial advisor’s dream client. Roughly 40% of her assets were in her bank accounts, while the rest were invested in stocks, bonds, and real estate.

She is also known to donate a large portion of her income to charitable organizations. The quirky actress also doesn’t see the point in spending all of her salary on expensive, designer clothes.

She is known to frequent thrift shops and is always on the prowl for a good deal, simply stating that “style isn’t when you buy yourself the most expensive things.” It is clear that Zooey has never fallen prey to the lifestyle inflation phenomenon that often sweeps up celebrities.
