Spending habits: It's not a bad thing to have a lot of money if you do good things with it

LIFT Ireland founder and chief executive Joanne Hession on the importance of planning for your future and being a spender, a giver, and a saver

Joanne Hession: 'I think I’d consider myself a saver first, giver second, and spender third.'

What is your relationship with money?

I have a very good relationship with money in that I understand and appreciate its uses and also am fully aware that the attainment of money is not success in itself. We need good people to have enough money to be able to do good things with it. It’s when money is in the hands or control of people with poor ethics and behaviour that the problems start.
