The contractor lifestyle

[LittlestHobbo]

Oh, OK.

Leaving work early for a weekend at my villa in Monaco.

That's the spirit. Why not buy a penknife too http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wenger-Swiss...8117252&sr=8-1

I expect there's an attachment for cutting eggs out of a sturgeon somewhere in there.

Sadly diminished by the look of it, when people post congratulations to themselves and each other, just on having a contract.

This place, and probably contracting itself, are not what they used to be.

I am exiting my client September ... and I can't be more happier because there finally will be some time for "serious" business planning .... but then I am not married nor I have mortgage ...

Perhaps some English lessons would help as well....

Then again, you might not need that much.

Chap working here retired at Easter.

They're burying the poor sod tomorrow.

I hope he enjoyed the bottle of single malt I bought him.

I hope he wasn't keeping it for the right occasion.

Carpe diem

I bought a reduced, out of date, economy pack of sandwiches last week.

wot no foie gras?!!!!!??!!

were you undercover or something?

[original PM]

sign of the times I am sure.

Having said that if you can get a client who lets you spend all day posting on here why not celebrate the extension

also I am not sure how many on here are super rich and how many just have a good lifestyle from contracting - problem is how much money do you need in the bank to retire at 35? given the current cost of living and possible future rises must be a min of £ 1 million?

so contractor lifestyle equals winking at pot noodles, then
