I think t’s important to save for the future.

Boy Wonder
Internet entrepreneur Carl Churchill describes himself as a normal young man. Except that his Internet Technology (IT) company is currently making 1 million pounds a year. What’s more, __A__ .
The Rich List 2020 is a list of twenty young people expected to make a lot of money – many millions – by 2020. Other names include famous actors like Keira Knightley and football stars, such as Wayne Rooney. But at the very top of the list is Carl Churchill. Experts expect him to make an amazing 100 million pounds by 2020.
Churchill is young, but he isn’t famous or particularly ‘cool’. In fact, he runs an IT empire. __B__.
But success doesn’t come easily. It involves long working days, doing business from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and sometimes making difficult decisions. He then spends two or three hours at night dealing with his programmers. __C__
He says, ‘On one occasion I worked three days without stopping, - no sleep.’ He smiles at the memory.
Is he happy with the progress the company has made? ‘We’ve made some mistakes but it’s all going pretty well now. I hope the business will be able to grow steadily over the next few years.’
So, how does he feel about all the money he’s making? ‘Well, I don’t go out a lot like some of my friends, but it means I can do things that I couldn’t do a few years ago. I’ve just bought a new car but that’s about it really. __D__ You never know what will happen.’
