Well done Cassie. The first million is the hardest to make.
Strange you are still banging claw hammers on clamps and bits of Layher though in sub-zero temperatures. Most of my millionaire pals prefer drinking cocktails by the pool on tropical islands.
You must be one of those "eccentric millionaires."

Of course the definition of a millionaire is really " a person whose assets are worth over a million pounds or dollars.
It would be reasonable to expect a man aged 48 to have "earned" over a million pounds from scaffolding.
For example and I hope I get the maths right before Daroscaff jumps all over me!!:mad:
32 years work X 52 weeks x GBP 700 = GBP 1,164,800 so in excess of a million. Obviously this is based on a man working every week and earning a gross salary of GBp 700 per week which is quite achievable.
However this doesn't take into account tax, food,beer,digs etc so the mans assets wouldn't be over a million pounds.You can't include property if it is mortaged as technically it is the lenders.

There will indeed be some members on the forum who are genuine millionaires probably aom with his castle in Scotland and phil181 with his cottages in the Cotswolds and elsewhere.

Maybe someone could start a legitimate "forum member millionaire association' thread.
 
I can't complain over the years I've always worked ,but I won't be joining the "forum member millionaire association" anytime soon ha ha.

You are wrong mate. As someone who has sipped cocktails with bikini clad girls on my lap I strongly advise all forum members not to waste time and do it as soon as possible.
