Not true.

You can get a nice terraced house in Nigeria for a little less than £ 1/2 million...

You'd finally meet the prince that gave you that half a million

I wonder sometimes how much is enough.
I remember when I landed my first contract some years back it felt as if I'd won the lottery.
Now when I get calls from agents quoting below a certain rate that I would have bitten their hand off for once, I laugh in a smooth way and say 'oh dear me no, I really couldn't do it for that'.

Indeed.... when I first started out less than half my current offer I'd have been like
Now I couldn't get out of bed for that kind of rate.

All my wad is in junk bonds.

Ok seems enough for poland

Due to globalisation nowheres cheap.

In the late 80's the Mrs and had I had a great time in India for 10 months.
We were only spending around £5 a day each.

Nothing comparative now.

Have you been?

Certainly not that cheap these days, late 80's when I last went maybe.

gratz! I could retire now and pocket around £900 a month for life. Seems enough for places like thailand. But want 3k a month so a bit more...

I could retire now and pocket around £8,000 a month with a little bit of ongoing effort.

Greed never ends. I'm disgusted by it all.

Nice! interesting story though, I'm sure it will be the same with me. but at 3k a month definitely a year of break.

First Ultimate boom in a while.....

Have had some awesome gigs work wise recently but took some dips in rate for convenience and skill set enhancement.

Just landed a really juicy gig not too far away which puts me back at the top end.....

Main purpose is to take that extra money and pump it into plan B so I can get out of contracting hopefully in 1-2 years!

Boom!

Congrats and much deserved after all this time. Nice feeling I bet!
