    Yes, it's fortunate I got the spelling right since I didn't spot the alternate interpretation

    Personally, two reasons:-

    1. I took this contract because I was unemployed (from a permie job) for two years and was living off savings that disqualified me from benefits - and so I took the first available contract even though the rate isn't at all great.

    2. I am in the process (just completed) of getting a divorce and suffering from settlement blues).

    Nope.

    Fortunately, I'm divorced, no kids and a nice settlement.

    I think forever is longer than three years so it's covered. I think all of us are in theis category as long as we move somewhere cheap like New Zealand or Nepal.

    Considering the high income you're earning shouldn't you at least give them something?
