The contractor lifestyle

[expat]

Sadly diminished by the look of it, when people post congratulations to themselves and each other, just on having a contract.

This place, and probably contracting itself, are not what they used to be.

Go buy a Koenigesegg to cheer us all up, then.

I am exiting my client September ... and I can't be more happier because there finally will be some time for "serious" business planning .... but then I am not married nor I have mortgage ...

I bought a reduced, out of date, economy pack of sandwiches last week.

Boomed!

The contractor lifestyle, you can't beat it.

[ThomasSoerensen]

so contractor lifestyle equals winking at pot noodles, then

[original PM]

sign of the times I am sure.

Having said that if you can get a client who lets you spend all day posting on here why not celebrate the extension

also I am not sure how many on here are super rich and how many just have a good lifestyle from contracting - problem is how much money do you need in the bank to retire at 35? given the current cost of living and possible future rises must be a min of £ 1 million?

Then again, you might not need that much.

Chap working here retired at Easter.

They're burying the poor sod tomorrow.

I hope he enjoyed the bottle of single malt I bought him.

I hope he wasn't keeping it for the right occasion.

Carpe diem

Perhaps some English lessons would help as well....

Leaving work early for a weekend at my villa in Monaco.
