        Freedom to increase your profits by staying in a cheap and cheerful B&B or splash out on something nicer according to working conditions or taste.

        After being charged out at a fortune every day as a permie and having my expenses questioned, this was a breath of fresh air.

          And being able to take long holidays (isn't that right EO) , also having the freedom to choose the work you want and when you want.
          Absolutely. Money is part of my motivation, but a much greater part is the freedom and choice.

            I just don't care enough about work, it gets in the way of all the other things I want to do.
            I can sympathise, but too dead end and I get restless.

              Another benefit is being able to avoid tax ..... eerrr I mean being in complete control of your finances.

                Only if you don't really enjoy what you do, IMO.
