Tym Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Shirley, you can tell me all about it, butt i do have a few questions, i dont work myself butt, as an efficiency hobbiest, i like to give uneducated advice to professionals about how to do their job worse. If you work at home, how do you get to cheat with the "hottie at work", you-}re home, the only thing hot is the stove. I have other questions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I've worked from home for 20 years now! And out of the previous 30 years I was probably working from home half the time as I was a Sales Rep. I hated having to be in a set place by a set time and watching the clock all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans can be had for 1.5k, build costs if you do it yourself about 800k. But generally you can get something half decent between 300k used and 2M new or near new in the 50 to 60 foot range depending on sophistication and fit out. In lieu of property it's not bad. Shit! You have to be super rich to afford something like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 10 minutes ago, Swagman said: 95% mortgage. Scary when you think that could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds. All it needs is a property crash like the late 80's and you're into 6 figure negative equity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagman Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I don’t like averages, there are roughly 359 houses on the park where I live and 2 are valued at two hundred thousand the rest can range from sixty thousand up, most are under a hundred thousand, if you are Lucky enough to be in a highish paid job that’s good for you but we were not all that lucky.

The number of time people that have said that to me on FB......that I'm lucky to live in Spain. Does my head in! Try relocating 1500 miles to a country where you don't speak the language when you're over 50 and have a family in tow. And then you have to build a business during the worst financial recession in living memory. Some fucking luck that is! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 2 minutes ago, Bruce said: 20 years ago I came to this country with £297 and a bride. I bought an old computer and in the first week wrote a script that applied for 20 000 jobs and started a new career in IT a week later, having been a geologist before. I worked my arse off. I lost it all in a divorse (aka Busboy) and rebuilt my finances. Saying I'm lucky is a bit insulting. I paid the price and put in the effort, the training, the certification and the hours. I set my goals and stroked my ego when knocked down to get back up and keep going. Lucky? I'm lucky in that I was raised with certain ethics and principles that gave me the tools needed, everything else was hard work. Not easy moving to another country and making it there! Very few succeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
