Money makes the world go round… but what’s the right way to handle it? Tommy believes money is there to be enjoyed. From luxury purchases to living in the moment, he thinks if you’ve earned it, you should spend it - life's too short! John, however, has a very different view. For him, money is about discipline, saving for the future and never wasting a hard-earned pound. In this episode of What The Fury?!, father and son go head-to-head over spending versus saving. Through a series of quickfire rounds, they debate everything from flashy lifestyles and impulse buys to financial security and planning ahead. Tommy argues that life is short and money should be used to create experiences and memories. John insists that without careful saving, it can all disappear just as quickly as it came. From big purchases to everyday habits, the Furys tackle what it really means to be good with money. But it all comes down to one big question: Is it better to be a spender or a saver?
