Why is it that children only ever seem to need a doctor after hours? When my daughter was little, it was ear infections. She didn't get them all that often - about twice a year - but it was always at night time and I would have to head along and pay through the nose for an after hours medical service. It can cost nearly $100 to visit an after hours practice and that's money a lot of people simply do not have. And that's why they present at their local A&E, putting strain on the hospital

In my year of living fabulously, the year I had off while I waited for this role to become vacant, I did lots of things that I suddenly found I had time for and one of those was jury duty.

Now all of a sudden, my name had come up on the electoral roll and I was being called to fulfil my civic responsibility and I was thrilled to the boots.

Even student loans, which is the first big debt that many young people incur, can be seen as an asset if you've chosen your courses wisely. But drowning in debt because you simply don't have enough money coming in to cover your living
