When I was doing my academic research before I became a TV historian, I would also teach and lecture.
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.
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.
The golden slippers of Tutankhamun that were left in his tomb.
I touched them last August when I was filming my new Channel 5 series. They are almost 3,500 years old. You can't even put a value on objects like that. They are priceless. When you touch something that old, you feel a connection to the past - and you realise that what mattered to them matters to us.
The comedian, who replaced Anne Robinson as the host of The Weakest Link, has previously spoken about his impoverished upbringing, including the challenges faced by his family when their home was repossessed after his accountant father was jailed for two years for fraud.

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.
Since the law changed three years ago to provide singletons with the same surrogacy rights as couples, 82 applications were made by single 'intended parents', according to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.
PION When I was a child, I swam competitively and trained most days, and this is one of the awards I won. Dad would get up at 3am to take me to lessons and his poolside pep talks were quite something - thin
The UPenn swimmer was met with near silence after winning the 500-yard race on Thursday. She has also had parents and Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, 72, among other former professional athletes such as tennis great Martina Navratilova, weighing in with their thoughts about her ability to compete in the NCAA championships.
An activist also claimed Thomas was 'not a woman' from the poolside on Friday.
I had a deal for two books - one on Helen of Troy and the other on Socrates. I also did three television series in that year. Overall, I think I earned £75,000. 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.
Julie Bindel, a feminist campaigner, said: 'There are questions to be asked why single men, all of a sudden, want babies that they will be the sole parents for, when traditionally they have passed on the lion's share of caring responsibilities for children to women.'

In the past, my income has been unpredictable and it has not been easy for me to plan ahead. It always felt like a welcome surprise when money came in. Also, I had other financial priorities.
'He has managed to find a space there to build his dream home, though it is rather bigger than his childhood home in one of the poorer areas of Crawley. It's a lovely story of rags to riches which Romesh has worked very hard for.'
I bought that white jacket when I was about 30 because I suddenly thought, this is ridiculous, I've got to sometimes buy new clothes.
The first time I wore the jacket was for the wrap party of the TV series I'd been doing. A colleague fell over and cut her wrist on a glass and I took her to hospital. She was fine, but there was a lot of blood and my jacket was ruined. I took that incident as a sign that I shouldn't have bought it.
Thomas, 22, swam a 47.37 seconds - a personal best - only 0.10 seconds behind third-place University of Alabama swimmer Morgan Scott and one second behind first-place University of Virginia swimmer Gretchen Walsh.
Also, I work hard to earn my money and I like to know what I'm spending it on. Somehow, putting my money out into the big investment world doesn't feel like what I want to do with it. I want to see what I'm buying.
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.
