Would you consider yourself well off?

I'm a tree surgeon. I'd say it's a well paid job but should be paid more for the dangerous work we do.

that's hilarious. It's good money when you have your own company to be fair.

Subcontractors average £150 a day where as bricklayers can easy earn £200.

At least I can say I enjoy my job

Work/life balance is important as long as you get to fund hobbies and interests in your off time that's the main thing.
