0:00.0	Hello, welcome to consuming issues on Share Radio. I'm Georgie Frost. I'm here every weekday on digital and online from 9 until 1 o'clock with my producer Annie Weston, making that pound in your pocket go a little further. Well, coming up, the team from This Is Money, the award-winning financial website and money section of the mail online.
0:42.2	On behalf of us, they investigate everything from scams, how to keep the cost down on your household bills, and the best deals out there. Well, this week, they've been looking at pensionabonds,
0:48.0	balance transfer cards, and our love of cars, although not French ones, it seems. Oh,
0:53.2	and very festively appropriate, the subject of turkeys.
0:56.3	Just when you thought you'd had your fill of crazy shopping days, crazy days that are named in general,
1:02.3	the madness of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Manic Monday. I'm not talking about festive Christmas jumper day either.
1:07.7	No, no, I'm talking about Mayhem Monday. Oh yes, that's coming up as well,
1:11.5	22nd December. And we've been asking a lot today about young people and careers, hearing from

1:26.8	when you grew up? And what are you
1:28.3	doing now? Annie? So what have people been up to them? Well, Laura Ann Coventry on Twitter
1:33.6	is saying that she wanted to be a poet or an astronaut, quite different. But investment PR is what
1:39.5	she's ended up doing and it's very, very similar, she says. Donna Ferguson has said that I wanted to be a romantic novelist.
1:47.1	How he ended up writing about finance is still a mystery to me.
1:51.0	And Jeff said he wanted to be a power ranger.
1:54.7	He said he was deadly serious about it.
1:56.9	He now works in retail.
1:58.5	Sandra wanted to be an intrepid explorer and now works in a travel agency. She says she's nearly there. That's all right. It's cute. I like that. And Tom said he wanted to be fireman Sam and he now runs his own business. What did you want to be when you grew up? A veterinary nurse. Fancy that, but then I brought a dog home on my work experience for a week. So I thought, nah, I can't do that.
2:17.6	My house isn't big enough.
2:18.6	Changed your mind.
2:19.4	Yep.
