How would you deal with a drop income or being out of work?

[Bagpuss]

I'm always on what I class as a good rate (except my new gig, that's sh*te)...but I always have a load of expenses cause I'm always living away from home. So my profits are nowhere near that amount!!

I reckon most of my profits have gone on booze to be honest...

I've met a few who have nothing to show for their contracting money, but most liked the old white powder.

Stay out of what?

See. You don;t even know what you're talking about now.

As I said. I'll stay out.

Me too (well that's the longer term plan), but cripes, I thought I was pretty thrifty and can live on about 50% of means... and that's with no dependents. Either you are queen moneysaver or you can command a humungous rate. Either way, well done.

Not so hard - Assume you earn £650 a day - That is 3250 a week - I can live comfortably on £250 a week.

So I set aside 90% of earnings as savings

Yes I ride a bike to work and eat at cheap places but its a good life

£650 is not anywhere near the norm methinks, even for London. I always thought £450 - £500 was the more likely average.

Where are you living a bus shelter, I think I’m tight and I could never find anywhere to rent for £250 a week. So DA you are talking bullsh1t.
Also you did not include entertainment in your calculations, from earlier posts that was your bigest cost.

90% saved, in your dreams mate.
