Question How important is saving money?

[Forever A Shrimper]

Another one for the Zone, as of September time I should be getting an income of around £130 P/w with two new jobs, and EMA etc.

I'm 16 at this current time and am wondering whether I should be slapping away as much as I can and having a money tight social life or whether I should spend now and enjoy my youth and put a little away when I can?

**** it up the wall!

Personally, I think you should try and put some away - maybe a third? And enjoy yourself with the rest.

with interest rates as low as they are, youre better off spending it all on wine, women and song.

really depends what your plans are for the future.

I just think it's a good habit to get into, that way when you're paying your own way it'll come as less of a shock when you start having to pay rent and bills and stuff as you've already got into the habit of taking a lump sum out of your earnings.

Get mashed, week in week out. I mean seriously so mashed you can't remember your own mother****in name let alone why your laying in a pool of liquid (that you can only pray to god is not ****), in some strange person's bathtub.
Also, the more class A's the better...

You can't go wrong trust me!!!

I don't do that - I only do that with Easter eggs.....or did, they'd notice now! No, it's the responsible former bank employee part of me speaking there - and when you've dealt with the amount of cash I had to, kids' Christmas money is no temptation at all!

Ah good idea. Then I suggest you put a bit away every week and ignore any comments I made :D
