Having a chat with a writer friend of mine on facebook, and she was saying that if she sold a story to a magazine it would be enough to buy her a subscription to something or another, which only worked out at $50 for the year, so I gifted her a subscription.
Its amazing how what I consider a small amount of money, I have been for meals with other contractors where the bill has hit £600 and no one bats an eyelid, means so much to someone else, and I do not consider myself a well paid contractor, I know there are those who are on £200-300 a day more than me.
I come for a background of getting myself in a lot of trouble when it comes to money in the past, maybe I am starting to understand how much people do struggle, and how lucky we as contractors are. Anyway I am off for a lunch of caviar and oysters washed down with a bottle of the fizzy stuff.
