      Are you suggesting that MF is cut out to be an agent?

          Looking at a shop later this week to buy the Freehold which will either give me a further boost in income or one I can use for myself.

          I was going to stop in June, but the share price in
          Clientco just wiped out 200k before tax, so will wait a bit longer now.

          £2k a month before tax MF? I had you down as one of those wealthy types....

            It was more before, but unfortunately for MF the market for children digging coal had its day

                in late thirties....

                10 years from now I could be retired...

                if no private school, then in 5 years!

                but private school has scuppered me....or rather I've accepted working 5 more years for my children having hopefully a better education....

                won't be living it up large like some, but will get by...in all honesty will probably continue to contract part time anyways....

                  No vacancy and all good here, warming up for the congress on the company dime. Weird reflection in mirror though.

                    38, and to be honest haven't a clue when I can retire. I have 10 years in a very decent final salary scheme, and I try to toss a little into a SIPP; but I'm focused more on living today than for tomorrow. Aiming for a bigger house, kids through private school. Those are my priorities. Fairly new to contracting, so the medium bucks are a recent thing for me.

                      For me @ 28 this is a pretty scary question, as it seems likely a lot of 'generation y' will be working till we drop. This is why I started looking into contracting in the first place, one of the biggest appeals being able to have T̶o̶n̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶e̶x̶t̶r̶a̶ ̶c̶a̶s̶h̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶1̶s̶s̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶l̶l̶ a future that wasn't dependant on me working to the grave... I would be disappointed in myself if I was still grinding away full time in 20 years.
