The Backstreet Boys know a thing or two about depleted finances. That’s why the ’90s boy band wants to mentor singing sensation Lady Gaga on the business of budgeting her millions so she doesn’t make the same mistakes they did when they first made it big. <\/span><\/p>\n

The boy band was touring in New Zealand at the same time as the “Paparazzi” singer when they learned that the star often uses her personal cash to finance the elaborate sets and head-turning costumes that have become her calling card.<\/p>\n

The Boys struggled with budgeting their dough early in their career but are now more business savvy — they’d like to use what they’ve learned to keep Gaga from becoming another cashpoor casuality of the pop industry a decade from now.<\/p>\n
