    Credit is like water...use too much and you'll drown, use it wisely and you'll swim far, have some for emergencies, you don't want to get caught in a drought. So watch that money meter!

    (Topical anyway!)

    Debt is like a car...it's only when it runs badly do you take enough notice to try and fix it. Service it regularly and it'll be a reliable option.

    Shopping can be like having your hair cut...you go with a set idea and come back with something completely different, twice as expensive and you don't always like it when you get home!
