MONEY
Once you leave school you will probably find it useful to have a bank or building society account, particularly if you are working, as most employers pay you directly into an account rather than with cash.
Before you open an account do some research. Don’t be fooled by banks offering gifts, music vouchers or a cash present, it may sound tempting but you need to consider what the bank offers long-term. Go in and talk to someone before you decide. Think about how you want to spend your money and what access you will require to that money – these things are important when deciding what kind of account you need.
