On the two occasions I've been married our finances were meshed together. We had separate bank accounts, but also a joint bank account.Would I do it all differently if I got married again? I don't think I would get married again, but I suppose I should never say "never". I think I would do it differently because I now realise I was looking for a husband to be able to take responsibility for me. I've learnt to do that myself - the dream is unrealistic. Hide

I'm not a natural saver. My mother used to take things to the pawnshop and my father never saved a day in his life so there was no example for me. They were unsophisticated and I had to learn to fend for myself. I've always made sure I've taken good advice. Hide

I was raised in a flat in central Glasgow. I don't like to call the area a slum because I have an aversion to that word, but perhaps I'm being a bit oversensitive. My mother was very proud and everything in our tiny home was spotlessly clean and we had good blinds and nice furniture, but we never really had any money.It was a huge issue for my mother and she used to hide wads of cash under the carpet and kitchen lino. We didn't move very often, but whenever we did we would lift the carpets and lino to take with us and we'd always find money under there. My mum was definitely a worrier and she left little sums of money to each one of us children, which was heartbreaking considering she'd never had anything.For the first 25 years of my career I found it very difficult to refuse work - I emerged from my childhood with a good work ethic, but only because I was fuelled by the fear of not having enough.

Fear is unreasonable and sometimes it creeps up on you. I'm not a rich woman, I would say I'm comfortable, but I've heard rich people say they remain conscious of money because of their upbringing so maybe it stays with you forever. I don't think money makes anyone happy, but it gives you a freedom of choice. I have finally realised that I don't have to tour unless I want to. Hide

I do sit on the fence on this one. If those who live in Scotland want independence then why shouldn't they have it? However, one of my mottos for life in general is 'united we stand and divided fall'. As a human race I can't help thinking we are stronger together. Hide
