Sydney Sweeney believes she will never feel financially secure due to her parents' financial struggles: "I witnessed my parents lose everything."

Sydney Sweeney is on top of the world.

Over the past year, the 27-year-old movie star's films have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars, and she has been appointed as the brand spokesperson for several companies.

Although Sweeney has recently purchased a Bel Air mansion and paid off her mom's mortgage and bought her uncle his "dream boat" due to her financial success, she is aware that her fame and income could vanish with "one wrong move."

In a recent interview with Glamour, the "Anyone But You" actress revealed that her upbringing without financial resources has shaped her perspective on wealth.

"I come from a family where I witnessed my parents lose everything, and I am terrified of that. This fear will always be ingrained in me. I am a big saver and I don't just spend money recklessly. I like to invest, particularly in real estate, and make smart financial decisions. However, I don't believe I'll ever truly feel comfortable with my finances."

Sweeney's family relocated from rural north Idaho to Los Angeles when she was 13, which put them under financial strain and eventually led to her parents' divorce.

Initially, she drove her "grandparents' old Volvo" in LA before becoming known for her love of cars.

""I had to jump-start my car to get it to start. The bottom casing fell off while I was driving, and I had to put cardboard under it to prevent oil from spilling everywhere and staining the driveway," she told Glamour."

Sweeney finds it challenging to accept her success, even though she no longer drives a beater.

"Sweeney describes the sensation of feeling unfulfilled when people compliment him on his success. He explains that he doesn't feel like he's achieved much because there's still so much he wants to accomplish. He feels like he's barely scratched the surface of his goals."

Despite never feeling financially comfortable, she is proud of her progress.

"I am a highly successful, self-reliant woman who has worked diligently to achieve my goals," she stated. "Through my own efforts, I have attained and acquired everything I possess, and I am capable of supporting myself and my loved ones."
