Starting out

From going flatting to dealing with fines, there’s a lot to consider when you’re starting out in the world of money.

Going flatting

Before you leave the comfort of home, it’s worth finding out how much flatting might cost so you can work out what you can afford.

Starting your first job

Even if you’re not earning a lot, your hard-earned cash can start going towards the things you really want in life.

Relationships

Like all aspects of your relationship, you need to take care of your finances together.

Getting a credit card

When managed well, credit cards can be a cheap way to pay. But if you don’t pay them off in full each month or you spend more than you can afford, you can get into trouble.

Fines

If you ignore fines they can get out of hand. A simple $12 parking fine can increase very quickly if you do nothing. You might even have your car, TV, computer or other assets seized by the courts.
