Whoops! Last week I forgot to deduct a sum for bills and so overspent by about £20. This means I have to deduct money from all the remaining weeks in Lent to make up the shortfall. I have borrowed the money from myself.
Of course, if I was really on benefits then I simply wouldn’t have been able to borrow the money. Or if I had, it would have been from a loan shark charging extortionate rates of interest.
This all makes me more and more aware of the fact that I will never really know what it’s like (I hope!) to live on the poverty line. For me, this is an accounting exercise. The reality must be truly miserable.
