Tobey Maguire was careful with his money when he made it in Hollywood.
The "Spider-Man" actor refused to splash his cash even when his earning sky-rocketed, because of his modest upbringing.
He told Parade magazine: "When I first started being successful at this, financially speaking, I was very conservative with my money. That wasdefinitely a product of my upbringing. You know those Lotto winners who winbig and then blow all the money? That would never happen to me."
Maguire's parents were just 18 and 20 when he was born, and he spent a"difficult" childhood living with various relatives.
The 33-year-old star believes his frugal spending means he will never beforced to "keep making movie after movie" to maintain a lavish lifestyle.
He also claims he could easily live without the trappings of fame.
Maguire said: "I feel like you could drop me anywhere in the world,anonymously, and I'd figure out how to survive. If you stripped awayeverything I've got - the money, the fame, the possessions, everything - Iknow that I'd find a way to get along, because, basically, that's what I'vehad to do all my life."
The hotly anticipated "Spider-Man 3" is released next month.
