It is rare that I don't get any money each month.

Re: Do you check your bank accounts regularly?

We didn't have much money when we first married in 1969, as my husband had just started his first job. I only had £4 a week house keeping money, which went up to £5 when our first daughter was born 10 months later!

We cut our coat according to our cloth and apart from the mortgage, we didn't owe anyone anything. We didn't socialise, drink or do anything we couldn't afford to do.

We now can afford to live comfortably, and I can spend money on whatever takes my fancy, but I certainly don't go crazy with our money. I prefer to help out our children and donate to charity.

Well good for you-and I mean that without any hint of sarcasm.

Re: Do you check your bank accounts regularly?

I have been hard up,like writing half of my PhD in a sleeping bag as I could not afford the gas,then quite well off,but Jenny had a very silly pension and no life insurance and I had left my job to try to go self employed-whoops.

Now I have enough to pay the bills and have helped out a couple of friends in real need.

Wealth, we are not wealthy, just comfortably off, after a lifetime of hard work on the part of my husband!

Yes, I check mine regularly. I was attacked once, and managed to nip it in the bud very quickly!
