David's Story
“I would consider myself quite switched on when it comes to finances. I keep an Excel spreadsheet to track all of my outgoings. But I’m not someone who has ever really had savings.

What I’ve found is that it’s important to look at your bank balance as often as possible. It helps you make smarter decisions. I think it’s important to give yourself as many options as possible to help manage your money”

This Talk Money Week I want to let you know that if you are having money issues, you are not alone – and there are people who can help. Do not suffer in silence.
