      For someone working a 3 day week, I'd say you did pretty well.

        206 days this calendar year. I consider myself somewhat fortunate.

          I must have been doing well with my double-bubble this years I've clocked 300 days already, and been part time since end October.
          See You Next Tuesday

            7 figure loss

            I am just going to wait 30 years & sell my inventory as classics having depreciated them over a few years. Or I might just be ****ed and need to sell the house.

            Stars of the show: M760iL 80k depreciation, A8 50L 85k depreciation. In one year.

            Either way, my health has been excellent in 2020 and I can't put a price on that.

              It's only a paper loss

                Did you really expect to profit on motors like those!?

                  Yes. The charge out rate for events are high: 5k for the booking, 2k- 3k a day with driver & hospitality. + 10K for PTL & GRD access. 2K for 3 laps of the track with pro driver on race day... There is a lot of money in motorsport, insane amounts of money (most of my clients are Russian or Chinese who like to be seen) - until there are no spectators or corporate hospitality that is.

                  I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out with wealthy lady clients with questionable dress sense? Also using Hockenheim when it is quiet is kinda cool.

                    Ahh I thought those motors were for personal steerage not for a business - my bad!

                      I started an inside IR35 contract last year and was thinking of leaving in March for an outside IR35 contract. Covid came and was wfh since March. There was hardly any work to do and at one point, I even thought they would get rid of their contractors as most permies in other depts were furloughed or made to take unpaid leave. Luckily, they kept paying me. In Sept, I decided to leave.

                      I landed a project contract but it never started and it's been put on hold till next year. I will see what happens next year.
