The questions are meant to be fun – so don’t stress over them! For most of them there is no right answer.

That’s the point in fact, seeing what there is and choosing what’s right and best for you! You will only get so much money in life and everyone in the world will want it! So you need to know how to get the most of anything for the best price you can find. Hopefully you’ll get an idea of how to do that from the questions in this book.
