Dave Haggas Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Sounds a stupid question but how do people become wealthy?? It seems to me the more you earn,the more gets taken away or am I missing the point somewhere along the line? Any advise would be appreciated...

I really dont think there is a way to do it legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Haggas Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Don't spend more than you earn. Wise words my dear! I am finding what ever it is ,wherever you go,everything is just costly. I could go on but it will make me feel worse.Just feeling as though there is no point to actually going out to work anymore.I wonder what it is like to just sign on and live off the state?

Homer Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Be in the correct trade at the correct time... In the mid-late 90's it was IT, people with the right skills were earning £1k a day with less very little relative experience. Now it's the building trades that are raking it in. Several builders/plumbers/electricians I know are working 3-4 day weeks and earning well over £70k a year. My brother in law is a project/site manager and made £80k since August 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erol_h Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ive seen quite a few of my customers pull off some very dodgy things to avoid tax. One guy put his shop in his sons name just so he could claim benfits which was disgustin. Others pretend to go bust change the shop name and reopen in another family members name.

Darren-K Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 i was thinking about shipping a UK ice cream van over to the USA and sell 99`ers, the ice cream vans in the USA are just like poor quality trucks with "ices" on the side and dont even play "popeye the sailor man" as there driving down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saboteur Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 People who have over is mil is what I call 'wealthy'. Nowadays even 100K in terms of 'net worth is NOTHING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Haggas Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Most of the wealthiest people I know are self-employed. What do you define as "wealthy" anyhow? Good question really and one I cant answer? If you had say £30,000 sat in a bank account,for example,what would you do with it?Pay off some of a loan,eg morgage?Invest it (and have to declare it)?Hide it ,ie loose it or what? Now I am not in that position,it is just a fanciful question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 ha another dragons den fan:d Yeah when it was worth going on there I'm still hoping my inventor friend, who was on series one, will be a success very soon! You'll never make any money with a normal salary and a mortgage, as the cost of living will have all of that IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
