Attitude to money?

Spend or save? which is it? We see all these posts and threads to save money and make money and I admit to being part of it but for what aim? Spend or save, die a broke or rich man - just looking at thoughts of people from someone who is reasonably well off but to be honest not 100& happy in life.

Mr Macawber from Dickens I do believe!

Yes, but its not a verbatim quote - I 'modernised' the monetary amounts to try and make it more understandable to those readers unfamiliar with pre-decimal currency.

But, like so many other quotes and signatures, it does (to me, at least) encapsulate what we all (from someone just looking for the best current account to the most desperate DFW) are trying to do here.

The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.
