You get people on here quoting figures of 50/60k for self employed other wise not worth it. That's all I was refering too, so its kind of trying to put people down if they can't or don't earn it imo.

They are quoting figures out of thin air ...................

I would say you need to be making £30K to make it worthwhile MINIMUM ............ and if you go SE, it could take 3 to 5 years to achieve this ............. yet in some parts of the UK it may never be achievable

You got involved in the thread now you don't care lol

That's funny ...........I mean I don't care if people earn more than I do ...... just look at my earlier responses - I was trying to get somebody to realise that they are under selling themselves

Its gone way off topic now anyway:)
 
Good on him .......... was that including overtime / weekend rates?
No just Price work. I have a site with 400 small commercial units being built. He gets £250 a unit which consists of a bit of dado with 3 sockets, a flood light on a photocell, roller shutter door power, 4x fluorescents, board with 3x RCBO’s, water heater power, Batten Holder and switch in WC and bond to structural steel. Does 3-4 a week when the works there. I can do one a day on my own if I knock my socks off. To give you some scale here’s a few pics of the 1st phase of 100 units.

If some of the sparks on this forum are earning some of the figures being bounded about they should be mortgage free living in a reasonable size house and in a nice area, living a decent life style with two good holidays a year by the age of 40 years old or if not a lot sooner I would imagine.
Good Luck to them if they are.

Yes to everything except mortgage free and I have more holidays than two.

But.........

I have taken a lot of risks. Moved my family three times and worked a lot of hours to get here. People expect me on the phone 24/7 and I spend a lot of nights worrying.
