The money is safe and I only use it for purposeful shopping or paying my council tax. amongst other important financial transactions. I do not feel the need to withdraw the money and I feel more in charge of my finance. Also, I teach my child how to save money and how to manage our finances better. I feel capable and richer, although I am not rich, I feel hopeful about the future and my capacity to face financial step back. Read more Read less
