This is one of those threads that I have difficulty with. The plan is so bizarre that it might be a troll, but if it is true the red flags are including friends and an overly optimistic attitude to risk and a short term approach. There are plenty of sensible ways to save money and get some return through investments and they tend to be quite boring“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”8

this week has been a bit slow for me, no I don’t take a week for quotes. What I meant was that because it was slow I sent quotes out as I was quiet. Ie. Ones that I have seen for a few days ago and settled up.
I’ve had 3 accepted so far, all modest I guess and wouldn’t take ages to do but values are important.You see I sat behind a desk for 15 years and well, thank Christ for covid really kicked me up my backside to go and learn a trade. Yes unfortunately to have it (twice I may add - and with the unfortunate way the UK handled it) however I now have the knowledge to do stuff that people do not like doing.
People around me are genuinely very happy to pay me the rate I want because I’m a lot cheaper than the 3 guys doing it all the time.
if work drys up I’ll go work on a building site for a month while advertising. I’ve got work all over the place for “gaps” which is lucky.I don’t get £50/hour yet. I am only £45.
I hold my 18th, level 1 through to 3, I’ve done my 2391, I’m doing nvq and am2e to finish off
I do a mix of commercial / domestic work0 -

Contro1 said:pension has no end value as I’m still young so will just add what I need into there
Hopefully your accountant will explain to you how you can save tax by making pension contributions. And also how important it is that you build up your NI years for your state pension, as well as other benefit, entitlement.3
