Richard Friedman once rather wisely said, "Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail". This may be true, but January is probably the month most likely to inspire despondency about our financial situation and any resulting absence of decent canine company. Even with reports that many families were putting ‘caps' on how much they would spent on presents over Christmas, the period can entail massive costs which can make the cold first month of the year bleak in more than just meteorological terms. The troubling financial problems of the era are likely to compound this situation: all in all many of us are worried about making ends meet.
