21、Group （Pfeg） points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends.

23、ns. It does seem oddthat - unless parents step in - young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university.
