That link is interesting... what would you rather?

a) £1000 a day for a month

OR

b) 1 penny, that would be doubled everyday for the month. ie. on day one 1p, day 2, 2p - day 3, 4p........ and so on...

I know most on here would choose option A.

Saving works fine if you have no debt, stupid having a savings account earning 5% if you pay anything over 5% on overdraft / loan / credit cards etc.

I haven't looked, but it is a cert that the guy fails to mention the effect of inflation.

The truth is savings are important, and they have a place. Hoping to get rich from it is a fallacy. Ideally you want to have enough savings to cover your lifestyle for a year, and the rest should be used aggressively to get rich, (if that is your aim).
