Thanks everyone, what amazing responses!
Jackie – Earning your pocket money really does teach you a lot about the value of money, completely agree. Nobody has money on tap really, but I suppose it’s sometimes hard to say no when you’re being nagged for cash all the time.
Hi Rachael – So wonderful to hear that you’ve nearly paid your debts off. It’s so easy to get into a financial mess at uni with all the temptations it offers. Interesting point about financial education in schools too.
Hello Jen – What you say about thinking ‘everyone else is fine’ is so true – peer influence, as well as family influence, can be so strong but it’s also such a subconscious thing that we can be unaware of it. Congratulations on the coming nuptials!
