    ""That's why Pfeg getting posters in every school in England is so important – it's a great way to start discussions and to make pupils understand money isn't just something you spend, it's something you need to think about and consider."

    Hopefully the "thinking and considering" will cover the need to earn money as well as simply spending it.
