So, having been contracting for 2 years, I've got no debts (aside from the mortgage) and am fairly cash liquid. What's everyone else's plan B? Skiing flats in Bulgaria? Chip shop? Extortion rackets?

Invest in an emerging market, my plan B is building holiday apartment in Goa India. The economy is growing, and there will be a growing middle class who will be looking to take holidays.
