Contractor Success Stories by FrankieBabe

There are some contractor success stories and we are pleased to give you one here. Here is a story of how an ordinary contractors made himself rich from contracting.

We had an article a while back which said that contracting would not make you rich. A reader begs to differ, and said so in the Article Comments section.

Contractor Success Stories – I’m Rich

I started contracting in 1998.

I have a house that is worth about £750k, no mortgage, ample pension, plenty of money in the bank.

During the last 20 odd years I have had several holidays a year, including destinations all round the world.

Contractor Never Had to Work Away From Home

I hardly ever had to work away from home, I worked about the same hours as permies, maybe a bit more, but got paid for every minute!

I know I have been lucky, as well as using certain skills to make myself saleable and to find work.

Perhaps the Subject article will be true in the future but I don’t think it true of the past.

I have not regretted going contract, but you need to be sure it is the best thing for you.
