Sharvan Selvam, Commercial Director for Aqua said: “When faced with lots of social plans, or even just the lure of long afternoons enjoying the sunshine with friends and family, it’s easy to spend more than you had planned.

“Putting a budget in place is the first step in helping you stay in control of your money. If you feel pressured to overspend, communicate your goals with friends and family and look for budget friendly alternatives.

“Everyone’s financial situation is different, so it’s important to do what’s best for you and your future.”
