Having dabbled in shares in about 1994 as a way to improve my C & G savings account, I knew I could do and would be more interesting (made 24% in the first year and 20.4% year two, only teletext, Investors Chronicle and no computer).

I always thought leaving employment paid by 50. I was looking for a utopia, as I never made any cash surplus in any job I ever had (he offered to do hours extraordinary, never pursued the bonds - gardening preferred).

At 49 the company is working with the Americans bought the kind that Americans repair tremble. Time for an exit point. The only way to raise capital to start a business on my own (or to buy a cheap franchise) was selling my townhouse in a modest S. Warks people, pay the mortgage, reducing the size of something barely habitable in a very, very cheap, and invest what was left. That took me a year to organize during which I attended many exhibitions and weigh franchises all types of businesses in each business page of the Guide, no matter what field. Also, read some articles as inspiration for people who quit jobs to become day traders or investors. They all started with a capital far more than the 25k Now I thought it probably would have. Cheap houses are summarized in former mining areas (E. Midlands & S. Wales valleys) and were a very depressing prospect.

A headline in the Sunday Times article caught my attention: "If you thought housing prices were shot - here's ten that sold for less £ 10k last week. "You think it was a £ 2300 for sale in London (a wedge between rail -" You can buy on credit card), a pair of Notts, mostly in South.Wales. South.Wales advantage for me was the proximity to the coast and mountains and rivers. No serious luxury none of the depressing £ 8k valley the terrace, but wondered if the agents of lower priced goods that the mentality of managing the properties outside those areas. Making the most Company car, driving back and forth around the southern part of Brecon Beacons National Park between Ammanford and Abergavenny, and sure enough - agents south of that line with the prices of their properties to the north of that line much lower that non-posh in Llandeilo and Abergavenny. Ended up buying a single family home 3bedroom parking yard and large backyard that slopes down to a small river, 20 miles from the sea, the park 200yds for $ 23K. Untidy and not entirely watertight but habitable. He had escaped from work with 7 weeks notice before I turn 50, or)

The only franchise prospects involved worthwhile were too great an outlay, and only work for someone willing to make a lot more effort than I could muster enthusiasm for. Several other ideas had come and gone. So despite warnings that funding was on course to do that, I went with trading shares. By then (Christmas 1997) we were seeing online brokers cut their fees and finance sites to facilitate access to new installations, for what was clearly becoming increasingly feasible. Overheads and regulatory costs involved in all other businesses were older - here are minimal. With no customers or employees to worry about is a big advantage.

It seems that works.
