You could save even more by becoming a tramp contractor. Sleep on park benches, drink Aldi own brew, and urinate on the office steps each morning. For added realism, have a fight with yourself in project meetings.Comment

I did consider getting a caravan for one gig, as the pub I was staying in had its own carvan site. It could have been a nice little money saver, but the car I had then was a bit small for towing.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I knew someone who stayed in a tent for a contract. Not even a proper campsite, he just paid a farmer a pound a night to camp in a field.
Tramp contractor would be okay if the office had a shower. Just change into your tramp clothes at the end of the day, get pissed, eat out of rubbish bins, sleep in a gutter, then come in early, shower and put on your good clothes and nobody would know.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
