According to this post from contact music<\/a>, Susan Boyle, the winner of the UK 2009 Britain’s Got Talent, does not believe in using credit cards.<\/p>\n

Despite having a reported 15 million (10 million pounds) in her bank account from the sale of her debut album, I Dreamed A Dream (sold more than 8.5 million copies), she is given only $450 (350 pounds a week) to live on. And she is happily contented and thinks this will keep her grounded. From being unemployed in 2009 to a “superstar”, this really says a lot about not letting “money get into your head”! Who says you cannot be a frugal millionaire.<\/p>\n

But if I had $15 million, I’d earn about $150,000 gross with 1% interest in the bank. After paying taxes, that leaves about $100,000 I guess (depending on your true tax bracket). If I save 20%, that leaves me with $80,000 to spend. And I guess I would be a little more generous with myself. But hey, to each his own. Question is, how much allowance would you give yourself if you had that amount of money?<\/p>\n

To round up this post, here’s a cut and paste (from youtube) of her Susan’s performance with Elaine Page (her idol)!<\/p>\n
