Another thread is raging on about property, saving, interest only, buy to let etc etc.
Personally I don’t measure success in £’s.
Money, Health and Happiness. Is it possible to have all three nowadays? I’m not sure it is. Not in the plastering business anyway. To gain in one you generally lose in another.
Where do your priorities lie?

Remember this theres more bullshiters in the building game than anywhere else!

I can guarantee half that try so hard on here and in person to make out there pushing big figures around are doing f**k all!

The most successful people I've ever come across go out of there way to be humble.

This place has become a joke of late for dick swinging!

Piss & wind!!!!

Family first, friends come and go. I guess we're all pretty much the same. Money is no measure of a man or woman.

Got married , in laws had a butler , chauffer and gardener off shore account , land , business , tried to change my hippie ways and step up , had four blokes working for me , worked every waking hour., Two kids and 2 years later I had a nervousinto breakdown , packed up business and went back to my original life balance , wife supported me , she got a part time job and I did casual small jobs on day rate . Never regretted the amount of time I spent with my kids
I have nothing to do with gambling on property , just been lucky to have bought a small patch of land in the right place at the right time and inheritance got us on property ladder , missus now on good money from hard work and a career head on her shoulders ( but she spends it lol) so life's sweet
Kids now married and both with first babies , I've got a couple of years to earn a pension before I'll be full time grandpoops and looking forward to new adventures
A lot of claims by people of profit and wealth , it's a way to go and don't say mines right (but I hope when at the end of the road they have no regrets , debt is a killer

Debt is not a killer, a debt you cannot afford is not a killer, but worrying about debt or anything else IS a killer.
 
I've always put fun and happiness above all to the detriment of other things really and it's not left me with much, spent most of my 20s geared off my face.

Reigned it in now I have a house and missus, two cats, no kids, the only problem is to be truly happy you still need some security, that's where having enough wedge comes into play.. enough to do the things you want to do and have enough for a rainy day is all!
 
Well I have three rental properties, own a lake set in eight acres and live in a house that once finished will be worth around £800'000. I worked my nuts off in my 20's, 30's and early 40's trying to achieve what I thought at the time was important. That was until my wife almost died before my eyes after a botched operation.
That truly changed my outlook on life. Yes I still have the 'stuff', in fact the lake came after the life change, but I no longer strive for anything other than to spend as much time as possible with my Mrs, good friends and my son.
In fact I love work more than ever because I work with my son. Luckily he has as relaxed an attitude towards work as myself.
That other thread isn't about 'willy waving', IMHO, but guys that are genuinely proud of what they've achieved from modest starts, and I can absolutely see where they're coming from. Good luck to them all, I just hope that they don't have to experience anything like I did to make them realise that their 'achievements' aren't the really important things in life.
To all you lads that have absolutely no interest in buying properties etc. etc. I also salute you for just wanting to enjoy life for the here and now, absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Well said mike
 
Work to live not live to work stuck with me from an old boy I started with .
If opportunities come along then grab them as thinking ahead to when you may not be able to graft as hard and for kids start in adult life is no bad thing.
But I will look back near the end on all the quality time spent raising happy kids and worry free Mrs,more than all the properties I worked on and earned off.

I certainly ain't jealous of anyone.
I come from an extremely wealthy family.
you see my real dad was a cuunt.
me and brother cut them out of our lives years ago.

anyone who does well for themselves has my respect.
 
Begs the question
Why are some people more ambitious than others,
Most lads on here would be self employed . so begs the question what are you doing for your future ?
I could not think of any worse than plastering after 40
If you have are waiting for something to happen it will never happen
Absolute no problem being a pro & earning 50k + however that is not enough without investment for your future does not affect your health might give you less free time for hobbies or beer
If it was easy everyone would be doing it so sort your s**t out


Your welcome
