As a 90 year old I loved your today's podcast. Wonderful tips. A tip which is working with one of my grandsons who is not a good saver is that when paid his fortnightly salary his parents and I equal the amount that he puts in a bank account in the joint names of 3 of us so he cannot take money from this account unless his parents or I agree(which we don't and will not. He still lives at home which is a great help to him. So far the scheme is working and he is very pleased with himself and us. Kathie Wilcox
