Plan carefully how to manage your money !
The economy is in crisis take heed,
Money is required to plan what we need.
Decide what we can afford ,choose the best deals,
Rather than eating out, prepare your own meals.
Money is imprtant but don't let it disrupt,
Guard against greeds before they errupt.
A load of money is not an essential to enjoy life,
But avoid overspending,anxiety and strife.
What can we do best to stay out of debt ?
Be content with what we have ,but never neglect.
Plan very carefully how to manage your money,
And make sure you can cover your bread with honey.

Always good advice Hugh.👍
As for getting in debt, we have an economic system which is designed to keep some of us in debt.
The oft-trotted-out mantras "Getting people on the housing ladder", and "affordable housing"(affordable to whom?) are prime examples of that.
A massive chunk of our local countryside (farmland) has just been dug up for private houses which will be "affordable" only to the likes of company executives.
We need well-built and designed "Council Housing" at fair rents; but such a concept is anathema to both New Labour and Tories who pander to their voters' snobbery about "Council Estates".
