Originally posted by The Bona Fide View PostI'm working until December. Then, who knows? I picked up this role back in May so there is hope.
Otherwise it's tempting to decamp somewhere sunny and wait out the miserable UK covid winter. If you can leave the country and if you can find somewhere that will let you in.
I guess there's always Mogadishu

Not anywhere close enough to retirement but have no entrepreneurial spirit left to start something new at this age. Current contract is winding down fast with end in sight by Dec. Have been applying for other roles but not getting a bite.
Have become a dinosaur in my 40s.
"There are levels of survival we are willing to accept" : I have investments that I can live off but that would be depressing.
Government taxing me to the hilt if I do manage to get back into PAYE work so that would be ultra-depressing.
UK is sh1t.
I feel like I've achieved nothing.
Apart from that, everything is great.
In your case December is a long way away though. If a vaccine is near things could start to pick up.Comment

As long as you don't camp overnight in your camper van in a dry river bed, you'll be OK. The link you posted was about late summer and autumn, so shouldn't be a bother in winter.Comment
