How much do you earn?

[Leo21]

What I mean is when you average it out over a year I don't think it's possible to make £500 per day profit as a one man band.

Ahh, ok I get you. And your probably right.

 

[lame plumber]

if I got up at 6 am and finished at 7 pm 5 days a week, had enough customers, I could earn £500 a day easily. Buuuut I am a lazy git, get to first job at 9am and like to be home at 4 ish so I earn anything fm £75 to £500 plus depending on whether I replace a washer or wack in a boiler. But over the year it all adds up to enough to keep the Mrs and daughter in horses 🙂

Would be nice to earn money like that, but then you get to a high standard of living, the problems start when the big earnings stop, and you find that you cant meet your commitments, No I'm with Lame on this, make enough to get by, no stress, finish early, no weekends, time to do your own thing, you get to a point when you wise up & realise money's not every thing

 

[REDSAW]

like my dad used to say when asked..

'just enough for what i want & just enough to do it again tomorrow!'

amen

 

[Ermintrude]

Don't earn enough. I charge myself out too cheep. Got £420 in loot on Monday and I'm not happy. Would like to say £1000 a day. But it's more like £10

Are we talking cash in d pocket profit here lads. I'm in d commercial end, no one pays cash. All cheques and electronic bank transfers. A bit ****e but won't have taxman after me either.
Domestic game handy that way. You'll never b short a bit of walk about cash.
i do well enough in Ireland. Used to break me nuts working night, noon and morning but take it a bit easier nowadays.
regarding d lads out for a meal, I would've just told them that I didn't want to upset them by tell inch them what I click a week.
the trades are handy for the few shillings. Me mam always told me to marry a hairdresser, he'll never b short. Didn't take advice as the ones I went with were mad alco's

[gasmanrob]

The air con engineer at the company I work for works out of a Mercedes AMG ML. Not a spec of dirt on him either! I assume he's on £50 a day...

i used to chase money untill 4 months ago. 12 years of working 6 days a week minimum sometimes 18/20 hour days.. You know what it got me 10k in debt 2 CCJs and a bad temper. Was it worth it?

ill take 9-5 and my bills covered thanks someone show me a weekend!

Your more likely to get nosed at fella

 

[Millsy 82]

I always say enough. It's not there business how much I earn.

They are probably just jealous though as everybody thinks plumbing is a sh1tty job and we shouldn't be worth the money.

 

[Leo21]

I always play it down and bang on about over heads, unless they're anoying me. Then I'm a rich man.

 

[hammers4spanner]

i sometimes say that

harp on about cost of running a business and plead poverty

 

[Rickster123]

Who asks someone they barely know how much they earn?! What a pair of knob ends. That said I hope you've picked me for secret Santa, I like cars and speedboats!

 

[AlexGas]

Manners are Important! Do not ask personal or intimate questions, such as:
How much money do you earn?
How much do you weigh?
Why aren't you married?

Also:
Do not greet people with a kiss.
Avoid talking loudly in public.
It is impolite to stare at anyone in public.
Do not ask a lady her age.
Do not pick your nose in public.
Avoid doing gestures such as backslapping and hugging.
Do not spit.
Do not burp in public.
Do not pass wind in public.
It is impolite speak with your mouth full of food.

 

[cr0ft]

Darn. I do talk pretty loudly in public. I also burp and fart at work fairly regularly I'm afraid. And I did start a recent thread about profit margins, that's sort of like asking how much you earn.

I am very rude!!
