If there’s one thing history teaches you, it’s cause and effect. It is so easy to end up homeless in a couple of steps. And it’s incredibly difficult to fulfil your potential if you don’t have a home. 

They grew up during the war and believed in being self-sufficient.
They would grow vegetables and bake their own bread. My father, in particular, never took anything for granted. He did not know his father and he provided for himself from the age of 15 when his mother died. So I was brought up with a sense that money should never be wasted.

But I was working at least 80 hours a week. My kids called my books ‘the treacherous books’ because they hated the fact that the door of my study was closed when I was writing.

I have always been careful with money and lived within my means. I’ve not had a credit card, nor spent more than what I have. I was brought up to think that if work came along I was lucky to have it. So all my life I have worked six or seven days a week.

The 54-year-old academic and broadcaster told Donna Ferguson she has never owned a credit card, nor made any major mistakes with money.

But that was never a problem for me because I love what I do. I have always managed to make my expenditure meet what I earn.
