Ideas

[Bird]

I work 8-4:30 at my fathers business doing gardening and general maintenance and that's Monday to Friday! On weekends I have 2-3 gardens I maintain and do them so they are ticking over nicely! I sell a bit of firewood but not had huge numbers of people for it yet due me not advertising a great deal.

 

I'm wanting to make more money and ideas??

I work hard and try hard but feel I should be getting a lot more for the effort I put in, granted I'm only 23 but I still feel I should be doing better than I am!!

Spend about £50k on kit. Pack in working for your dad and go it alone..….……

 

 

The grass is not always greener. Sometimes less is more.

50k is quite hard to have when you have got bills, mortgage, food to put on table, fuel etc etc

Sorry being flippant😀(wish I had £50k) but spent more than that over the years and keep spending👎

 

 

It's hard to make a living in this world.

I do think you need your own business or be a doctor/ banker to make any real money

Another thought I'd try and speak to your dad about expanding your role or even his business so you could play a part in it more.

Then maybe come to a better pay structure?

This is an arb forum... Train to be a tree surgeon? Then you have more to offer people.

If you want to make serious money your in the wrong job mate,i know lots of arb workers,gardeners and landscapers-not one of them is well off.

Count yourself lucky you HAVE a job and can put food on the table,not everyone is so fortunate.

No offence but you sound a bit money mad...it aint everything u know

[Logsnstuff]

doubt there's anyone on this forum thinks they are getting paid enough for the effort they put in.

Why not work at becoming "life rich" rather than money rich. I know lots of people who are life rich and not many of them are what you would call "minted".

I think you had a bit of an idea of setting up your own thing before (if I remember rightly).

I have come up with many an idea for quick cash in the past but never come up with anything worthwhile.

I have had to save up and it's taken me 5 years or so but I now have a good amount of kit and about 20k to go it alone, not only that but I have the experience of how a business works and the experience of work.

Just keep saving and pushing, as hard as it may be to hear for a 23 year old, cut out (or at least down) on the drinking and raving, stop buying junk food and computer games and save save save.

Speak to your old man about how you feel and see if he has any advice.

I wish you all the best mate.
