”Schools teach the wrong things!” ’The Apprentice’ star Tom Skinner

"Like I was a nightmare with money. Honestly, when I was younger, if I'd earn a hundred pounds I'd spend a hundred pound, you know what I mean? I was always like that. Like, and if you was taught at school, just save 10%, just save 20%. You'd be so many more kids or, or young adults. Now that would be in a better position. A hundred percent."
