I only buy the things I need when I need them.

I think it is important to put money aside in case times get tough.

If I won €500 I would hit the shops straight away and spend it all.

I always shop around for the best deal before I buy anything.

If I lost €5 my first reaction would be ‘easy come, easy go’.

When I am short of cash and my friends are arranging a day out, I go out with them. I am already broke so what harm is spending another few quid.

If I want to buy a new mobile phone I’ll research all the offers available, and shop around to find the best deal.

I sometimes buy things because I know they will impress other people.

When I finish school I will try to get the job that pays the most, because then I won’t ever need to worry about money again.

I think that if people were taught how to manage money at an early age it would help them to manage money more wisely throughout their lives.

I live for today – tomorrow can take care of itself!

I save up for the things I want.

When I borrow money, I always pay it back.

My pocket money does not last as long as it should.

If I had an unexpected cost (for exam-ple, if my mobile phone broke) I would have the money to pay for it myself.

I know exactly how much money I have coming in and going out.

I spend until the money runs out.

To be good at managing money you need to have lots of it.

Budgeting is something that accountants or businesses do. It’s not for me.

I know where to go for help for managing my money.
