OK, there are a number of us who work from home. The easiest way to do this is to be self employed. I ain't.

That means you have to work twice as hard/longer to justify to all not using expensive office space. For me it was a tad easy as my European director moved to Aberdeen and would fly to wherever he needed to be.

Pros are you choose your hours, work pays for your tinternet, cons you have to do more than your contracted hours, pay for your own electrickery, put up with nagging 24 hours a day.

I had considered moving abroad, give up the company car bit and let work pay for a flight from spain to the uk as and when they want me in an office

Yacht idea is very tempting,but has a drawback.Running an old 40 ft boat will cost you several times your present wage,so the "earn enough to keep belly full" wont be quite enough.
Now bumming around on someone elses yacht----thats more like it.

Unfortunately no "answers" but plenty of ideas........

When saying "Hi" you are sure to get a warm welcome if you ask "Is a Multihull the perfect idiot proof boat?"

If boats is your thing. I did know of one IT consultant who live on one. He would moor up in whatever marina was closest to wherever he was working. That way he effectively had a home in any marina, and good work anywhere in the UK without adding to his costs

It was more of a romantic notion to distract me from work

Give me a few years!
