I left mine in NZ in September and apart from a bit of freelance work in December and early Jan don't seem to be much worse off even here in France.

I just work now for a couple of weeks when my funds run low.

In retirement and I love it
This work stuff is over rated

FF1078 · Jan 30, 2019

I'd like to retire when I'm 55, only 10 years to go.

No leave, no notice I’m out (it’s been coming a while so we decided it’s best to hard brexit lol) note to self, don’t get involved in family businesses !
Might go flying instead, hey ho let’s see where it goes.

Best of luck
I work for a family business but I'm family so maybe different although it's hard working with your 72 year old deaf as a post father

63yr in-law who won’t go lol. I’m already a LTD company so shouldn’t be too much of a transition if I decide to continue this route.

Good luck Oliver, we're always here for good independent advice if required. Just pm us rather than spilling the beans on a public forum.

I concur that family businesses are hard work....learnt that lesson 30 years ago!

In fact many businesses involving others can often be troublesome. It is why I prefer being on my own more these days.

GeoffCapes · Jan 30, 2019

I find it hard enough to work with a business partner (for one of my companies) after 7 years on my own, could never work with a family member.

What will you be doing @Oliver6796 ?

Same as before?
