Money buys you nice things but it doesn't make you happy.
I do save a lot. I'm a reality TV star but at the end of the day I know you have to save. With my career it can sometimes be over in an instant and that's why I've always saved.
I've worked really hard. I could go and by a really expensive watch, but I don't. I still have an allowance and I stick to it. I never go over it and I always put a bit of money away to save.
I'm a young girl and I want to have fun.
I'm not greedy at all. Sometimes I pinch myself because of what I've got.
I've been so lucky to have my mum and dad because they've worked to give my brother and I everything. We're not spoilt children.
My attitude towards money is because of my mum and dad. My parents have always worked full time and I've always had that work ethic in me.

I was happy working for £6 an hour.
When I go on holiday, I wear wedges. They accentuate your leg, honey, and you have to look good on the beach.
I just wanted to be myself and that's why I chose to do 'Big Brother,' because I wanted everyone to see the real Amy Childs.
