    Work, Life Balance....

    Yeah right ! WTF is it all about ? all this talk about working less, car sharing, spending more time with your family !

    With all this technology in place 50% of us could work from home to ease congestion on the roads, see your kids off to school etc....oh but Gordon the moron wants us to use our cars so we buy petrol.

    dont know about you but I actually do more ours now than I did 10 years ago !

      It's whatever you want it to be. Me, I like time out and holidays so I have had a fair few this year and still turned over an adequate amount...

      Older and ...well, just older!!

          but RateWhore u've prob been working/contracting long enough to be able to fund such a lifestyle, e.g. no mortgage, loadsa cash in the bank, investment properties galore etc.

          Something we all aspire to.

              Yes and no. No mortgage certainly, but then, I rent Mid 30's on good contract where I've made a lifestyle choice rather than a choice to cane it and maximise turnover by working every day god sends...

              Like I say, it's whatever you want it to be.
