Kristen Bell Is Sharing Some Hard Money Lessons She Learned from Her Father

Health & FitnessMarch 2, 2020

As kids, some of our favorite memories involve getting that toy that we wanted on Christmas or receiving a brand new iPhone on our birthday but while these gestures are a great token of love from our parents, they aren’t great at teaching kids hard money lessons that will help them in life later on.

Ask Kristen Bell, the cofounder of Hello Bello, who is worth millions today, all thanks to the financial lessons she learned from her father as a child.

When it comes to parenting, Kristen and Dax aren’t quite on the same page, mostly because they’ve grown up with different philosophies, but if there’s one thing that they both agree upon, it’s that every parent must provide the best quality of life and education for their kids.

Two years ago, when the Shepards welcomed a beautiful baby daughter into the world, their whole lives changed.

Dax admitted in a recent interview that they had been blessed to have a stable, high income, afford a good life in Los Angeles and not have to worry about paying off a mortgage or saving for their kids’ college.

But the couple also acknowledges that these are rare privileges that not everyone has, especially the people they grew up with.

This was a premise behind their brand, Hello Bello, which offers affordable, high-quality baby products available in Walmart franchises around the country.

What sets these products apart from the rest is that they are all vegan and cruelty-free, making them a great sustainable option for your baby and the environment.

The Veronica Mars actress practices what she preaches, and believes in staying minimal because that’s how her parents raised her. Both of them lead frugal lives, and use their money on causes that actually matter to them.

Shepard also likes to instill this value of money in his kids by letting them pay at grocery store checkouts so that they understand as well that nothing in life is free.

Bell’s own father once refused to pay for her lemonade stand as a kid because he wanted her to learn the money lessons the hard way. Bell said that if he had set up the stall for her, she would not have appreciated it as much as she did.
