Yet another example....

[Ivor Windybottom]

I would absolutely love that, but I can't afford the gamble of the switch. I wouldn't know what to do either! Several people have said I should become a "handy man" but it seems a bit risky, and recently I've been looking for welding courses as I own a few old cars and it seems to be a rare skill these days, but again a real gamble.

During Covid I did start making coat racks and benches which I sold for money we put toward our wedding, and I loved doing it as I had my own schedule and structure. We looked at it though, and couldn't work out how to make it financially viable.

It took me a while and a few failed ideas before I found a good one. It can be done though. Also if your years are advancing then manual work is probably not a good long-term bet.

Thankfully my other half was able to take the financial reins while I sorted my ideas out, during which time I also half-rebuilt the house so earned my keep in sweat.

Don't give up, always keep that beady eye out for an opportunity. Or just train from scratch - not a suggestion but an example, if you're a capable builder then could you train as an architect? As I say, not intended as an actual suggestion but just the general idea of thinking a bit bigger and wider than the obvious.
