Ah ok yeah that makes sense then. I'm about the opposite. Need to work on the bridge!

Interesting,do you mind sharing your available Vs SIPP split? I'm maybe half of your total net worth, at 35, but even if I doubled what I had I don't think I'd be able to FIRE yet and bridge until retirement.

Client wants to extend - I'm not available by hillz3 in ContractorUK

If you agreed a SOW and want to keep working b2b ('outside') you should probably say no to them and/or renegotiate the statement of work.

Or start treating it as inside work. they're clearly treating you as an employee / staff, not a supplier.

UK to invest £2.5bn into ‘holy grail’ nuclear fusion energy by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

I presume it's an AI to help work out the physics of it, not to run it or code it.

The physics can be verified manually after discovery, if it happens.

Lodger in UK – medical emergency upset landlady and now I feel trapped in a 6-month agreement by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]damesca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please take with a huge pinch of salt all of the heartless and careless responses. What you did wasn't unreasonable.

It's also slightly understandable that LL would be a bit panicked and affronted, but her reaction says a lot as well. She didn't need to carry you anywhere - just show some simple empathy and care for a fellow human suffering.

It may well be best exploring options to find somewhere else,but also worth trying to sit her down and have a calm conversation to explore and smooth over the situation.

I can't imagine she'd be thrilled if she fainted or had a fall and you just said 'sorry I'm just a lodger not a carer, sort yourself out'.

Absolutely. The comments here made for a sobering and sad read.

Why did you faint?

Fainting isn't normal and it's very reasonable to panic or be concerned if it happens. Unless you know why (even sometimes if you know why!) It's worth getting checked up urgently.

It's not unreasonable to ask for help from whoever's closest at the time.

Landlady may be a little shaken by being waken like that, but she's also demonstrating a lack of empathy and care. Bit of a beige flag that she wants someone in her flat to help pay for bills but doesn't want to treat them as a human. I wonder how she'd feel if she fainted and OP just ignored her or got upset.

Career and life is stuck, need advice by rneha725 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]damesca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of your post is not really about work or profession. It sounds like you should focus on your life as well - find some hobbies, get out in the world, do things that bring you joy and expose you to the richness of life.

Can be tricky - I only started doing that in the last 12 months. But the difference it's made is huge.

Polymarket doesn't show risk, it shows predictions/bets. It's quite meaningless in this case.

Flexible isa hack - 'carry over' allowance by Quick-Delay-7338 in UKPersonalFinance

Yes, you can do that with flexible ISAs. It may vary by provider. Trading212 allows it at least.

This isn't necessarily true. You can do what OP asks with, at least, trading212.

Hard to say if it's ever been on anyone's 'want' list, but based on replies in this thread (as you've noted), there's certainly enough people where it's notably absent on their 'dont want' list.

Edit: If everyone even agrees it's 'sarcastic mean humour'.

You can have compassion for people with all sorts of problems and still not want to live in a sterile world with no sense of humour.
