I just do not understand the stock market. It is like reading Russian.

I have a fall-back fund for the quiet months. I am a single working parent and it gets lonely when things are insecure.

I never got into debt because my parents had drummed into me at a young age: if you can't afford it, you can't have it.

There are times when I feel over-rewarded for what I do for a living, especially when I compare what I can earn to what my brother earns as a firefighter.

We all like to think that if we were the victims of domestic abuse we'd up and leave - but it's not always as easy or straightforward as that. Women stay with abusive partners for all kinds of reasons - they love them, they fear them, they have children with them, they believe they can change them or they simply have no where else to go.

I think it is outrageous - to lock people's money away and change the rules on them. So, on point of principle, I stopped putting money into my pension.
