As the Bridesmaids breakout admitted to Glamour, when she first moved to New York to pursue comedy, money was tight. "I remember when you could still get a $5 bill out of an ATM and I couldn't get it because [my balance] was under $5," she recalled.  

McCarthy remembers frequently turning to her family to make rent, noting, "They never made me feel guilty, because they knew I wasn't lying around doing nothing." 

The Life of the Party star learned about the value of money from her parents, who encouraged her to pursue comedy in the first place, but when McCarthy first moved out, she fell victim to using credit cards she couldn't pay off.
