SSIA account-holders will know what to do

WHY are the media, Government, stockbrokers, bankers and economists all so worried about the €16 billion SSIA savings to be released to their rightful owners next year?

They all seem to want to advise how they should be spent. Is it a form of jealousy, or just fear of those savers ‘setting the economy on fire’ in a spending spree? Those savers are ordinary people who were thrifty enough to make a sacrifice by saving ruthlessly over the past five years, and are well capable of using their hard-earned money wisely.

Most of the money will be spent or invested at home.
