After university, I knew that whatever I would spend 5+ days a week doing for 40 years, I'd have to get more out of it than financial recompense once a week/month. I also became aware that I'd be not great as something practical. What I can do though is work with people. I never decided on a career path. s h i t happens. I just keep going...

I took a pay cut to come into the current job because I was made redundant from a better paid (but more stressful) job. I have no regrets. I can get by on my income. I have less stress. I have a lot more free time, know what time I'll finish work every day, have shorter travel, therefore more time with those I love or for hobbies. I like the people I work with (by that I mean more the clients than colleagues). In general terms, though I'm happy with what I earn, I think it is low paid. But hey, I get by, & I can afford to visit friends, go see bands etc.

I have dough. I am what I call very "careful" with the spending though. (Other people say I'm tight as a ducks rear end). Have to be though, seeing as I am the only earner in the house, & I'm the main carer to 2 adults.

It's no wonder this thread had lasted sssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooo long if you're talking about dough!

God bless you all

Did you know that a 16th century King, due to the low birthrate demaned that people !!!! under Command of the Kind.

Thats where it (the word derives from)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There you go, make conversation about that insteat of the trivial stuff you have the opportunity do discuss.

You should work hard for what you have then and not complain about it.

DH is about to become the sole earner in the house too. while my dad and I talk this ''going into business together'' thing through. My dad is going to miss london very, very much.
