I worked for my father and was paid once a year, we would wait for the accountant to show the profit the company made and then share out the proceeds. I was then left to work out how much money I could spend after assessing how much the coming years domestic expenses would be. This situation went on for five years and gave me a lesson in money management I would never have gained in any other way. Our M.P.s should be paid the same way we would then see vast changes in the way they spend our money,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
