Black Money – The Saviour

My husband works in a multinational company and earns Rs1Lakh per month. He gives me Rs 80,000 per month for household expenses. Out of that 80k I actually used to spend only 50k and the remaining 20k was my ‘secret saving’. One day my husband seemed to be very tensed as he lost his job and we were going through financial crisis and had never- ending bills to pay. At that time, I confessed about my lies and revealed my ‘secret saving’ to him. Though he was angry at me but after some time he seemed a bit relaxed, as, even though I lied to him and had hidden the money from him, today that money is saving my family from many adverse situations which could have occurred due to the financial crisis.

Now replace husband with government, wife with businessman   and ‘secret saving’ with black money.
