Why is saving money so difficult and, well, boring? I swear as people we are meant to enjoy spending money, we all love buying things, that's why we're all in debt - we can't help it, it's in our nature to consume!

I'm trying to save for my future, pensions only go so far, but it's difficult. I'd like to be able to invest some money in stocks or a company or something so I can make some nice interest, but I don't know where to start. I'm thinking of making an appointment at Rowan Dartington with an investment banker or private wealth manager, to see what my options are. Or if I even have enough money to invest!
But it's so boring saving money, if I have it, I'd rather spend it somehow! Buying things, going places, eating out, whatever!
