As a contractor you need a war chest of 12+months of living expenses. It can be lucrative but also risky. With kids, you really don't want to be answering to the those who come around to take away your belongs because you owe money.

Originally posted by pangeakiller View PostLots of positive and interesting comments! I was hoping for more ding pics and memes but it's cool.

The opening scene about children in the garden and "honey I am fired" had inspiration from Fun with Dick and Jane (1977). And then the rant about Instagram and Snapchat ... seriously? few even fell for that. That part was added on purpose to increase and reinforce the perceived age of the character. How old is @pangeakiller any ideas? Lastly, the part about all random BBC news in my dreams. That one is to capitalise on the economic mood by making it sound more relevant to the story and disguising the whole lot as a dream. Its a classic TV trick adopted by many shows which I tried here.
It was just a story attempt, full stop. No need for any life saving financial advice or motivational comment. I am working on a part 2 which will go into *General*. Good day!
About watch a movie with Dolby Atmos sound projected in a small bedroom I just laught.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostThere's nothing wrong with OHs not working, and there's nothing wrong with sending kids to private school, but if you then want to complain about having no money, well you have to look at ways of either reducing your spending or increasing your income (or both).
That's basic economics, but is lost on some who want a solution that doesn't affect their current lifestyle.
