    it doesnt really annoy me if someone doesnt save unless it concerns me ie family or if the other person pushing thier views onto me.
    i feel it up to each person what they do with their money. it does and can get irritating when people grumble about being skint but are wasting money etc or not trying to be sensible.

    I have seen a lot of people on TV moaning about having no money, and not being able to go on holiday 3 times a year. Well guess what, a lot of people can barely afford to go once.

    It annoys me when for years we have been saving like mad to pay of debts etc and consciously not having any holidays but spending the money paying off credit cards. Others seem to go on 3-4 holidays a year and then complain that they really need another holiday, it is all going on credit cards but they don't seem to have the problems this should bring.

    Sometimes makes me think why do I bother.
    Overdraft = £1000 Emergency fund = £2500
    Competition wins 2015 = £1400

  • Perhaps these people have saved, invested & use the returns to pay for their holidays but owing to the fall in interest rates due to the credit crunch cannot afford another holiday?
