Money is one of society's great taboos, yet for most people it is one of life's most important considerations. Through a selection of interviews, this book explores people's attitudes to personal finance. A survey by American Express showed that money is the biggest cause of domestic strife, and that couples' decisions about money were much more heated and painful than about almost any other subject.
