Moving from Permanent to Contract world

[Bunk]

Ah, I see your point.

Yes, being paid 0 per day would be slightly less than I was on when I was a permie.

Wait until you get ill too. It takes a lot more to keep you in bed when you know you won't get paid if you don't work.

I have experienced that, although I had to take a day off when the wife was ill and there were no baby sitters for the kids :-(

Although I still think that there is more money in contracting that there was in the equivilant perm roles. I take home a couple of thousand pounds a month more now than then.

I find the opposite is true, having so much money in the bank means I know I could live a decade without working. So why make myself ill just for more numbers in a bank account.
