Uh? I like to see money for my graft, and quickly too. If you are employed you have already given your employer a week(s)/month(s) of hard graft on credit. What possible reason can there be to afford them extended credit? If only the Landlord/Mortgage Company/Utilities/Credit Card Companies would be so generous and understanding when it comes to the monthly bills.

Nope, i hate work!

I dislike conforming and routine, i prefer to be my own boss, with my own rules working the hours i want

I don't work now but I used to love my job.
Back in the day our wages came in little brown envelopes, handed out to you personally, even though I knew the wage I would be picking up I used to love opening them and counting the money.
A lovely feeling earning your own money.

nah I'd much rather be a millionaire and spend my time travelling the world and doing projects that I enjoy rather than normal work

Haaa. REAL money. I miss those little brown 'pay packets'.

This is part of the trouble now Smudgie with young people getting into financial difficulties with Credit Cards etc -- It is just too easy to not realise that these transactions involve REAL money when you cannot physically feel it in your hands.

I have an internet 'Bookies' account and at first used to wager far more than I would in a bookies shop or at the course with REAL 'readies' in my hand. I just did not equate those 'invisible' amounts with real money.

That WAS years ago, and I do now only bet in moderation, but I can well understand why young people get into debt and are not used to handling money.

Bring back little brown Pay Packets and REAL money I say.
