1. Like, I don’t want to be seen as giving out…but fuck me, is this what modern journalism is?

   Like, who is this article even for?

   “The best way to save money for property, is to already own property”

   …okay, thanks for the pro tip

2. These articles always feel like a bit of a dig, don’t they. “Money Diaries – people who are better than you.”

3. It’s like that show How to live mortgage free on channel 4 a few years ago. 1 got a massive inheritance from a grandmother, the other bought a barge and lives in the middle of nowhere in Norfolk and the last had not spent a penny on anything or gone on holiday beyond their garden for 8-9 years. And that was a 2 income household if I remember correctly.

4. It’s just like all those shows on RTE where someone comes to help people who are broke all the time. But they’ve always got a lot of money and constantly making bad decisions with it.
