Dilemma

Apolonation

I want to earn 100k a year but my job is a fraction of that, i know people start businesses but im tired in the evening and it takes up all my week. Also whenever i think of a business i can't think what to do. Duncan banatine stated before first 100k is easy...

well...

has anyone done it? If you have, any advice?

This does sound a bit random, but it's a serious question.

Why cant you stand the thought of working weekends, surely a job paying that much would require you to work weekends or long hours in the week, i wouldnt say no if it meant id get 2 days off in the week

HEY DFC I've changed my original question as it was a waste of space... just seeing what reactions would be. The new question is however legit.

For interested parties original question went something along lines of... Ive been offered a 75k pound job, but dont want to work weekends what should I do!

DFC would you take any job , like minimum wage in a supermarket etc? or are you being selective

well in that case then, why do you want to earn 100k, you need to work at it to get that high

i have done retail before and im currently on just above min wage. What do you mean am i being selective ?

I just think that would take all my money headaches away, id be able to rent a nice flat - buy decent clothes learn to drive, get a car - and have some money in the bank etc

Selective i.e. not prepared to take any job. Do you live anywhere near london? If so I can probabally help you find a job, that's all - I would like to do something to help someone looking for a job - and am sure I could find a job for you if you live in london, and were prepared to work for NMW and give you advice for interviews etc

I've managed my life very poorly so far and am in my late twenties, I think thats the main reason I can't do all those things, well just about any of them actually. My current salary is 26k.

That was kind of random wasn't it... the reason this came about is I was reading awaken the giant within yesterday and as part of the goal setting session I had to set 'contribution goals' and mine was to help someone get a job on MSE ! although I set myself a year target to do it so a way off yet I guess!
