    Ultimate Boom!

    First Ultimate boom in a while.....

    Have had some awesome gigs work wise recently but took some dips in rate for convenience and skill set enhancement.

    Just landed a really juicy gig not too far away which puts me back at the top end.....

    Main purpose is to take that extra money and pump it into plan B so I can get out of contracting hopefully in 1-2 years!

    Boom!

        I could retire now and pocket around £8,000 a month with a little bit of ongoing effort.

        Greed never ends. I'm disgusted by it all.

            Shocking isn't it on a contractor forum n'all?

            All my wad is in junk bonds.

            I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

              Nice! interesting story though, I'm sure it will be the same with me. but at 3k a month definitely a year of break.

                Have you been?

                Certainly not that cheap these days, late 80's when I last went maybe.

                    Due to globalisation nowheres cheap.

                    In the late 80's the Mrs and had I had a great time in India for 10 months.
                    We were only spending around £5 a day each.

                    Nothing comparative now.
