You know what, Swipey, I just come up with an idea.I'm going to make a Weight Watchers style points system for spending money. Everyone has 30 points, which equates to a % of their daily wage. People with lots of debt have less points than people with spare money.
Some things are worth less points, like giving to charity. Some things are 'free' points such as buying medicene. Some things are worth a whole week's worth of points such as a new gadget or pretty shoes.
Actually, I was joking when I started typing this, but I think it's a fucking good idea.

You could call the "points" poundsthen when you use them all up they're gone and you can't "spend" anymore "points"
