No need to start live with debts to feed greedy bankers.

Some money has been saved for swmbo and oldgit to enjoy live.

It's a good philosophy Hannes.

Also my biggest dilemma right now. I got nothing financial from my parents to start me in life (except Β£70 off my Father to settle a gas bill when I left university - money he didn't really have). In return, I have the satisfaction that what I am fortunate to have is down to me.

At what age and stage do I pass money to the children to set them out on their journey, without robbing them of the necessity that drove me and the eventual fulfilment of succeeding on their own terms?




p.s. I did pay my father back, 25 years later I bought him a Sport Teal 4/4 which he is still driving at the age of 83
