I would divide all my pay into envelopes marked with what they were for and then I would put anything over into my purse. <br /><br />As time went on and employers went to paying by cheque or straight into your bank account I remember feeling so ripped off.

What I resent is not as much paying for Tesco, Eon, my bulding society etc - from which I get goods or services - as paying taxes, as they seem to get higher and higher and the benefits less and less.
