Are you a saver or a spender?
I am definitely a spender but, to be fair, I return about half of what I buy. I always seem to have some project on the go as well, so even when I manage to save a bit of money, I’ll spend it on the house or a holiday.
What was the first job you received money for, and how much were you paid?
When I was still in school, I worked part-time at the checkout in Dunnes Stores. I can’t remember exactly how much I was paid. After I left school, I earned IR£50 a week working in John Cassidy Travel, putting stickers on brochures and running around the city collecting and delivering tickets.
