Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher may be worth around USD 170 million, but the couple will teach their kids they are "poor" so they don't have a sense of entitlement.
The "Bad Moms" actress, who is pregnant with her second child with husband, says she doesn't daughter Wyatt, 22 months, and her unborn sibling to grow up thinking they were born with a silver spoon, reported Aceshowbiz.
"[We'll be] teaching them from a very early age that, 'Mommy and Daddy may have a dollar but you're poor'," she said.
The 32-year-old star said she and Kutcher had discussed how they would "raise a child" before they even started a family.
The "Black Swan" actress said she and her 38-year-old "Two and a Half Men" actor husband are "self-made" and both had extremely poor upbringings.
"We both came from pretty solid poverty backgrounds and grew up very poor. Nothing's been handed to us," she said.
Though she thinks it is "beautiful" her own kids will never struggle for food, she admits it is bittersweet because they won't truly understand hardship.
"On one hand it's beautiful, they'll never know what it's like to have ketchup soup for dinner but they'll never know how to appreciate things.
