I’m self-employed and this year my taxable income will be over £150,000. I started my own company in 2002 with £1,000 I’d saved from a previous job.
I’m 24 years old and went to a normal grant-maintained school in Staffordshire. My social life is non-existent, I spend all my time working and I don’t go on holiday, I don’t have the time. I’m busy building up my business and working hard.
I’m certainly not spending my time sipping champagne on a yacht!
I work 13 hour days, seven days a week. I have quite a nice car but it’s not a Porsche or an Aston Martin. I’m certainly not spending my time sipping champagne on a yacht!
