CREDIT
CRUNCH KIDS
So
often we talk about the economic downturn from the perspective of financial
experts, commentators and bankers, but our children and grandchildren
are affected too 聳 even though they聮re too young to be worried
about mortgages and redundancy.
I
went to the Holy Trinity Catholic School in Keighley to talk to a group
of pupils about how the credit crunch is affecting them. From picking
up on parental arguments about money, to trying to cut back on crisps
and fizzy drinks in an attempt to save money 聳 these young people
were savvy and responsible.
They聮d also noticed a few upsides to the credit crunch, especially
spending more time with dad now he isn聮t working聟.
