When you hear the name Osborne, do you instantly think Ozzie or George? Perhaps today, Budget Day, (as opposed to Chris Evans’ Budgie Day) it’s more likely to be George.
Most of us have difficulty managing our own budgets – deciding on priorities for gym membership, mobile phone contracts, eating out, holidays (whatever they are), and the various other expenses making up the domestic budget – juggling the interests of family members. Difficult, even when you have a good idea about your income. George has to guess what his income is going to be and then decide how to spend it with everybody and his dog trying to tell him what’s best. – That’s a hard place to be.
