About this section

Money is generally considered to have several characteristics or functions. It is a medium of exchange, a measure of an item's value, or a store - when it is saved in one place. For the majority of us, money matters - we spend it, we earn it, and some people also attempt to save it.

We need money and make decisions involving it on a day-to-day basis, but there is a vast amount of information you need to be aware of when looking after your finances.
