not worth it mate [nights]
I no I keep telling myself this I'm missing so much time from my kids.. Childcares more than your average mortgage to get on track and still be able to buy things I get to into the zone forget what day it is.
been there done it sit and think do I need to do it if yes carry on if no enjoy your kids you might miss them growing up
It's hard sometimes to find the balance.. I was doing some rendering for an old school spread 74 kid you not fit as fiddle still working fitting bathrooms at a really good standard.. Anyway he said the one regret he had was missing out on time with his children growing up. It hit home he was saying the same thing how he chased and chased missed out a hell of a lot.. Il only do it till I'm a bit ahead then can relax again.
this is where I'm coming from just trying to help you younger guys got it wrong myself but still enjoy the job
No I appreciate that.. I feel you follow your parents mentality sometimes, didn't see my old man much growing up because he was the same... Miss actually doing things with him other than work.
speak to u again pal nice to meet nice people as they say
Cheers mate. Nice to meet you too take it easy.
We can all do that,trying to keep customers happy or trying to have a few quid behind us as a bit of security for our family’s.The memories of hard times and the lure of good ones.One things for sure they don’t make them anymore that can handle both.It’s hard to find a balance but for me personally the woman going back to work was a huge help.First of all it was a few pound extra and even better was she’d be that tired to be annoying me with the usual bullshit!.
She's started uni mate so I'm the main provider she will soon take the piss out of my wage once passed. So il put my effort in for now.. I'm feeling in a really good mood at the minute working together well which is helping I was shiting myself a bit how it was all going to go but no arguments finding a good routine.
Best of luck.
Thanks mate
When I work stupid hours and the money comes in with one hand and out with the other and don’t have a lot left I do wonder how folk on minimum wage manage. We earn fairly decent money.
Still make sure that you're his favourite grandson. Miss both my granddads.
I was bought up to believe that borrowing money was just a necessary evil to buy your home. To then get it paid off as quickly as possible and never borrow money for anything else.
My grandad was a ledge, he was one of those that came across stern and scary to people but when I was three, if I fell asleep on him he wouldn’t move for hours the big secret softy.
I got into bad debt when I was 18 on credit cards. Scared the life out of me I got pretty deep.
Tbh I’m a big believer in spending money
To honest I’ve never had more than £500 in the bank
Debt would scare the s**t out of me. I’m more inclined to buy something outright, if I can’t afford it I can’t have it (mortgages aside). I think it’s mad the choices people make. Small example, a couple I knew rented and had debts but one was saving for a tattoo and they wanted to get a dog....
Can't fully agree with that owls, developers never seen 2008 recession coming which was caused by banks and when it hits sites will seize up like last time. Recessions are cyclical as history tells us and one will come again. All the ingredients are there, too much debt etc,,, new builds are shifting but older property's are not shifting quickly here we're I live.
I wish.There was a recession not long ago.There was no site work and domestics were very scarce and they wanted it done for peanuts.Thats the reality of it.
Where was u in 2008,i remember good plasterers with no work on sites.
2008? I was only just time served in 2008 mate. Honestly couldn't tell you
I no mate I feel the exact same not going to lie moneys really good at the minute I seem to be getting really good customers too which helps.
I've taken out three mortgages on rental properties and they've been a great investment.
I've a mortgage on a buy to let, and a mortgage on my unit for work, they've both nearly doubled in value since I bought them but I'm taking a long term view as there for my pension. Equally I borrowed a lot on my current house, there going up 20 grand a year on my street, but it's only paper money until you sell up.
