There’s an interesting, thoughtful, well-sourced look at young people’s attitude to money, and their anxieties about future debt, on the Guardian.co.uk website.

Sorry. Just joking. Actually it’s a badly rearranged press release. But that’s churnalism for you.

The press release, and the article, quote a senior corporate PR person from Community Service Volunteers saying young people are not powerless to overcome their debt fears. Young people should “give advice on managing debt by volunteering to teach budgeting and financial skills”.

Sound idea. But there just might be a bit more to it than that…
