IN A RICH MAN'S WORLD...

The temptation to spend hard-earned cash is everywhere. Especially when conspicuous consumption is being shoved down your throat by every wannabe in every mag you open. If the recession and crisis' has taught us all anything, it is perhaps the idea that you should not spend more than you earn. I have had the sense of money drummed into me by my Dad from a young age. Although for the majority of my life I have grown up with money I've always been made aware that there's things you can have and things you can't have. From what I have learnt credit cards are dangerous. I see so many people around me who have got themselves in horrible situations with debt whether it be hundreds or thousands and it's just not worth it. It's so easy to let your first pay cheque turn you into Kanye West. After you've finished living the high life and thinking you're a rock star for a week or so there is still the rent to pay, the food to buy and the costs of transport to get you to work to earn that money in the first place.
