Are we too greedy for our own good?

Are we too greedy? Is our desire for new gadgets, clothes and other luxuries to blame for the nation's personal debts of over 拢1.4 trillion?

Perry asks - are we too greedy? Is this why so many of us struggle with money? Personal debt in the UK is now well over a trillion pounds - that's personal debt, not money that the government owes. Is this hole in our finances down to education, budgeting skills, impatience, high taxes, or are we just too quick to spend our money on the latest gadgets that we don't really need?

You can also hear from a couple who have fostered over 90 children in our area over the past three decades, and John Acres will be at a so-called micro pub. Find out where, and what makes it different to a normal pub after 12 mid-day.
