MSG on Money

ReportInvestor

The Sunday Times

The MSG reveals her money attitudes on the back page of the Money section.

Property - yes. Pension not yet. Shares - no. £2 Primark items - yes. Credit cards - yes. Manage own money - yes.

What is the most important lesson you have learnt about money?

"To be sensible and think ahead — and to shop around for the best deals."

That's his girl .

I think she probably found her "best deal" in Martin

Hear, hear.

Thanks for the above comments - very kind of you to say so

It was quite strange for the MSG to be the one getting in the Money pages. Interesting that the ST choose to leave out who her boyfriend was (they certainly know) I think it may have complicated matters.

Although perhaps the use of Egg Money paid off in full was a giveway (and guess who the person telling off about unused pension allocation is).

However I think overall ReportInvestor got it spot on

"That's my girl"

I actually didn't know who the MSG was . Was I the last to know ?

It was para 2 that was the giveaway.

"...Lara Lewington, who lives in Kensington, west London, with her boyfriend Martin...."

Then there was the Primark/Hathaway story as per Martin's blog to confirm.

The Egg Money bit was peripheral .

C'mon Martin. Get her to start some regular saving into the stock market . It'll beat haggling in the long term.

Typical man - focussing on his own ideas :rotfl: .

The £2 Primark item in the headline was the giveaway for any woman reading the article .

Evan Davies, rubbing her shoulders, inappropriately? :rotfl:

I thought for a minute that he was the one accused of workplace harrassment... he actually looks ever so slightly like martin :think:
