Part of my job that I was being paid for I asked if I could do in a voluntary capacity. I prefer it that way.
I do get paid for today so I had better put my iPad down and get out of bed or I will be late  |
|
By:
No , not as far as I am concerned.

I think it's most important to do (work) something you love.
I'm now semi-retired and I look around at the Job opportunities for youngsters and they're not so good...  |

I only turn up for the easy cash.

Not many of us would do the job that we spent most of our life doing for nothing. I enjoyed farming for 25 years when I was making a decent living but after three years of making zero income I decided to sell and enjoy my hobbies, one of which did earn me some money until my pension arrived.

Much more fulfilling to make your own way imo
I loved making 30k per year from poker , enjoyed making 20k per year , hung in there making 10k for 2 years & then quit making 2k year as was wasting my brain capacity  everybody has there own tolerance levels I'm ready to bail out & live in a campervan or boat at any moment as I don't like society too much anywayz |

By:
moonylad - is your bank still the same as it was during the hayday years ?
|
|
By:
not sure what my brain capacity is worth
|
|
By:
since I moved 3+ years ago my Banks still about the same Coach , maybe 5k better off with other things I've bought , def not by football betting, but I've paid my bills/living expenses for another 3 years which all adds up as you know
 |
|
By:
youve done well there then .
thought a decreased bank might've be affecting profits . Houseboat sounds nice - a fair few up your way |

I took a sickener to my job. I was on a good salary, expenses and had a company car.
Took early retirement to enjoy my life better. Had to eat into my savings for about 5 years but still think it was worth it. |
|
By:
Yeah I survive .. had a really bad spell 2014-15 but football betting was def killing me along with the braindead poker slog
 Could've made an easy 10-15k in stocks but started to believe these Doom Mongers too much , though the world is fcked up! Would really like to live on a boat still have nothing to lose tbh , could even rent my flat out , internet on a boat  |
|
By:
boats not cheap - but a nice relaxed way of life moonbeam
|
|
By:
Yes very relaxing, on your own with nowhere to go and nobody to see... nothing to get up for at all
It would be horrendous for someone like moony. I hope he goes for it |
|
By:
i've always fancied a barge on a canal near Worcester - but then there's probably not enough room to swing a cat .
Moony lad - just tell your neigbours in the flats youre some sort of brain deranged lunatic with extreme religous views . you will have detached accomadation before you know it |
|
By:
I think the boat people have a bit of a gippo or tramp like image. I live near to a river where there are plenty of people living on boats and they do look a little grubby/unclean.
|
|
By:
Not sure why anyone would live somewhere with limitless clean running water
|
|
By:
True there's not too much room on a standard narrowboat though some of the widebeams are amazing - but are then limited to certain waterways - on a narrowboat you can travel the country just stopping wherever you feel for a couple days here & there - at least your living with nature which we lack in our concrete world - true there's limited running water but how much water do you need I filter all mine anyway - only thing you're limited to is taking too many baths - showers instead - but no council tax - sky or BBC fees - and internet's getting a lot better though limited to watching films etc .
I guess it would get boring but life's boring anyway & the way the economy is I can't see why anybody with a brain & money would be stuck in a concrete life watching sky tv , paying a mortgage etc |

I don't talk to any of them Coach .. but they probably think I'm slightly deranged anyway .. thing is I Know they are Religious views are best kept to yourself around here (large Asian community) though none in my flats .. they just own all the rich 4 bed houses instead |
|
By:
narrowboat sounds bonzer mate - as long as you can get Betty fair you're laughing .
|
|
By:
yep standard internet's ok though could be a bugger if connection dropped while trading 1k or so
only downside would be having to travel to every shop along the way .. How's the House turned out for you mate  |
|
By:
reading about boat living i get the impression it's a way of life and not an alternative to house living - in the blood type of thing .
i like the idea of a nomadic lifestyle -but not sure about the dead of winter House is going fine mate , doing bits here and there as i get motivated enough ,thats my brick wall - getting things done  - the temptation is too lay out on the patio in the sun drinking beer when there is no one to answer to Life is hard,but its even harder when youre head won't motivate itself |
|
By:
do you go very far when there is no betting moonbeam ?

Hey Coach
Yep I've looked into it in detail & you're right about being a way of life , also a fair bit of downside to it (lot of Locks) and I would miss having no postal service for stuff like ebay I'd love to do it for a year or so but is quite a big decision so am probably better off staying put for now , Grass always Greener as they say  I'm also terrible lacking motivation , planned to decorate as soon as I moved & took me years , still have things to do (more like pay to get done for me) Haven't been far since I lived here been quite ill tbh , just grind all day then feel so tired , plus not driving atm as don't really need a car , my head's not right with so much gambling over the years but what else can i do |
|
By:
yeah postal service is a weird one - i guess you'd need a po box or good friend /family member.
gambling is def a tiring business ,does play havoc with the head ,but it's also a friend - so where do we go with that one - a bit like having a mental girlfriend . this is why i give gambling a miss for at least a month every year . How comes the illness moonbeam - stress related ? |
|
By:
Very true mate
Yes it started off stress related end 2014 thought I was having heart attacks , even phoned an Ambulance! Very ill first half 2015 could hardly get outta bed , though a lot of Mental stress too (Family etc) and now all my muscles are giving up (could be age but am only just 40) Been Doctors , Hospitals all year , and they all say Nothing's wrong .. Well I won't live like this forever , rather be Homeless , fck the system |
|
By:
McM I attended a 2 day seminar on work related stress issues.
Was really good and the 2 main things I took from it were unscramble your thinking and the benefit of to do lists. The unscramble your thinking was merely a case of listing your problems and looking at how you could attack them. Once you had done that it was a case of how to approach them w by means of a to do list. Could be down to environment in your case. But rather than taking the jump why not arrange a boat holiday and see how it goes. |

BTW I eventually came to the conclusion that I'd be better off retiring.
Not better off financially but in lifestyle terms so took early retirement. I have never regretted it. |
